We spent a fun and creative afternoon making Grass Head plants! 🪴

Each one was made by filling a stocking with soil and grass seed, shaping it, and adding a quirky face to bring it to life.

After placing them in a shallow container of water, the stocking acts as a wick to keep the soil moist.

Now they’re sitting in a sunny spot, ready to sprout their green “hairstyles.” With a little patience—and regular watering—they’ll soon be ready for their first trim! ✂️🌱

🧡 This week is Malnutrition Awareness Week — an important reminder that good nutrition is key to good health, especially for older adults.

At Oaklands, we’re committed to supporting residents with nourishing meals, regular hydration, and personalised care to ensure everyone thrives.

Together, we can raise awareness and help prevent malnutrition in our communities.

🎤 Marcus Brings Music and Joy to Oaklands! 🎶
We were delighted to welcome Welsh singer Marcus back to Oaklands for another unforgettable afternoon of music and laughter.

His captivating performance — paired with his warm, witty personality — has made him a firm favourite among residents, guests, and staff.

The room was filled with smiles as everyone sang and danced along to classics from across the decades.

Marcus’s wonderful repertoire, enthusiasm, and stage presence ensure that every visit is truly memorable.
A big thank you to Marcus for another uplifting performance — we can’t wait to welcome him back in December! ✨

🌸 Today we’re celebrating World Kindness Day here at Oaklands!

Every day, we see kindness in action — a helping hand, a shared laugh, a comforting word. 💕

Our residents and team remind us that kindness doesn’t have to be big to be beautiful — it just has to be shared.

Let’s keep spreading love and care, today and always. 🌼

What a relaxing and joyful morning we had with our aqua painting session! 🎨💧 Residents began by selecting the pictures that caught their eye, each one full of hidden colours just waiting to be revealed. With only a brush and a little water, they gently painted over the designs — and watched in amazement as the colours magically appeared on the page! It was a calming, creative activity that sparked conversation, laughter, and plenty of smiles all around. A lovely way to start the day feeling relaxed, focused, and inspired.

A wonderful session full of laughter as residents enjoyed playing the Memory Tray Game.

In Willow Lounge, residents were presented with a tray of various objects and challenged to remember as many as possible. Initially, only a few items were recalled — but when the objects were woven into a fun story, everyone was able to remember them all!

Meanwhile, in the West End Suite, residents played a different version of the game. This time, objects were secretly removed from the tray, and participants had to spot which ones were missing.

It was a fun-filled afternoon, full of smiles, laughter, and friendly competition.
