Battling across the Board....

Our lovely residents at The Ruddington like nothing better than some friendly competition over a board game or two. They chose the classic Ludo for this week's battle. A game that some of our younger readers may not be familiar with, but back in the day, it was all the rage. Despite there being some competitive spirit on show, it never got in the way of our residents' friendship and laughter. A lovely way of bringing people together.

Hubble, Bubble, Toil and Trouble....

Halloween week was certainly enjoyed by the residents of Balmore Country House. In particular, our ladies loved dressing up in their witches' hats and causing no end of trouble for everyone! Just joking - they are the nicest set of witches you will ever meet. Everyone enjoyed the decorations around the home and joining in the spooky fun all week!

Darts Champion!

A big welcome to our new resident, Sandra. She recently came to live at St Peter's, and on her first day she won our darts tournament! She was over the moon. Apparently she used to play darts with her husband, and she can not wait to tell him she won! Well done Sandra and it's lovely to have you at St Peter's - we hope you will be very happy here.

Firework Fun.....

Yes, it's the 5th November, and that means Fireworks! Our lovely residents at Edward House decided to have a go at sketching and colouring their ideal firework displays. There was a lot of creativity on display as usual, and everyone is certainly hoping to see something similar for real tonight. This was a great activity for engagement, fine motor skills, as well as being a lot of fun.

Halloween Fun!

Our residents and staff at Manorfields had a fantastic time at the end of last week when we held our Halloween Party. There were loads of spooky decorations, costumes, food, and music for everyone to enjoy. Fun and laughter was the order of the afternoon and everyone said they would like to have a Halloween Party every month! Well there's a little thing called Christmas coming, so maybe we better get that out of the way first!

Something to cuddle....

We all like something to cuddle now and again, and for some of our residents, having a tactile and sensory experience that comforts is a crucial part of them feeling safe and secure. Here is a picture of our lovely resident Ann, who is very pleased with her new cat Percy. We are sure Percy will be getting lots of cuddles and will be a constant comforting presence by her side.

Halloween creativity.....

Our lovely residents at Edward House always enjoy an Arts and crafts session, and this week was no exception. With Halloween nearly upon us, they decided to do some spooky colouring. There were some lovely pictures created and we will enjoy seeing them around the home over the coming few days....if we can fight our way through the ghosts, ghouls and pumpkins!

Tony's trip out....

Our lovely Edward House resident Tony had a fun trip out recently. He went shopping to the Range for all things Christmasy. Of course we had to stop off and get a couple of treats as well. Well, why wouldn't you? Tony really enjoyed himself and can certainly recommend the range for their Xmas selection.

The power of Pets.....

Willow Tree House recently had its regular monthly visit from D&B Pet Therapy. They brought along a fantastic variety of lovely animals for our residents to enjoy. Having pets visit the home is a fantastic sensory experience for everyone, and you can see from the pictures how much the visits are enjoyed.

Clubbing together.....

Our lovely residents at Edward House have always enjoyed getting together for some enjoyable activities. So with this in mind this week they have started their very own book club. They started the club off by enjoying some short stories. We wonder what titles they will include for next time - what books would you choose?

Colouring calm........

Every now and again it's great to just take things a bit easier. Let the mind relax and chill with some quiet time. Here at Willow Tree House some of our ladies have been doing just that and enjoyed some quiet time coloring and having a chat with a cuppa this week. Sounds like a perfect combo to us!

Sharing at Harvest time.....

At Willow Tree House, their harvest festival collection always produces a great collection of items that we can give to our local community. This year we has been no different and we were able to donate a large amount of groceries to one of our local food banks. It's a really good way of involving our residents in their local community and allowing them to make a contribution.

My Care

My Care is a family owned business that is dedicated to providing high quality care for elderly people across the East Midlands. Our aim is to provide all our residents with safe, friendly and happy homes where they can lead fulfilling lives as part of a loving and caring community.

Everything we do at My Care is centred upon the wellbeing of our residents. All our homes have dedicated and compassionate staff teams to ensure that we not only provide everyone with the individual care they want and need, but also offer advice, friendship and comfort for families.

Our homes offer a variety of different types of care, but across our group we can provide residential care, respite care, nursing care, and more specialist care for those people living with dementia. We hope that we can help you to find the home that is just right for you or your loved one.

We encourage you to take a look at the types of care we provide and our approach to helping and supporting people in later life. Each of our homes has its own page where you can find out what makes them all special places to live.
