🍁 November Highlights at Barnhaven Care Home 🍁

We’ve had a wonderful and meaningful month here at Barnhaven, filled with reflection, fun, creativity and the start of festive cheer!

For Remembrance Day, our residents decorated beautiful poppies to place on our wreath as we remembered and honoured those who served. We then took part in a respectful two-minute silence, sharing memories together – a very touching moment for everyone 🌺❤️

We were also delighted to welcome the Bampton Players, who kindly came to perform for our residents. It was thoroughly enjoyed by all – a huge thank you to you for such a lovely morning 🎭

Throughout the month we’ve kept busy with arts and crafts and active games, helping everyone stay creative and on the move while having plenty of fun together. 🎨🎯

We’ve also well and truly started getting into the Christmas spirit, with festive crafts and putting up the decorations around the home – it’s beginning to look magical already! 🎄✨

Residents also enjoyed a lovely trip to Bernaville Garden Centre, getting out into the community and soaking up the seasonal atmosphere. 🌿

⭐ Employee of the Month – Darcy Briggs ⭐
A huge congratulations to Darcy Briggs, our well-deserved Employee of the Month. Darcy shows exceptional kindness and compassion towards residents and their families, and her confidence in her role as a senior carer truly shines through. Her hard work has not gone unnoticed, and she is a greatly valued member of our team. Thank you, Darcy, for everything you do 💙

🎃 October At Barnhaven 🎃

October has been a wonderful month filled with music, memories, and plenty of fun for Barnhaven Residents

We were delighted to welcome Katy from Sing Yourself Well, who performed a beautiful selection of remembrance songs. Her music brought back many fond memories for our residents, and it was lovely to see everyone singing and dancing along. Katy’s session really did lift the spirits, and we can’t wait to welcome them back again in December!

Our craft and baking sessions took on a spooky twist this month as we embraced all things Halloween – from decorating to delicious treats, residents and staff all got involved in the fun! 🎃

A real highlight for many was our trip out to the local Bampton Fair. It was a joy to get out and about, soaking up the lively atmosphere and joining in with the local fun. Residents enjoyed browsing the stalls, chatting with familiar faces, and even sampling a few of the local tipples on offer! The day brought back so many fond memories of years gone by, and it was wonderful to hear stories shared and laughter all around.

We’re also proud to announce our Employee of the Month – Molly Robinson! 🌟
Molly has been recognised for being a reliable and valued member of our team. She’s a conscientious carer who takes great pride in her work and is always consistent in everything she does. Molly has recently completed her NQ3 and is now stepping up to become a Senior Carer – well done, Molly!

As we move into November, we’re looking forward to embracing the festive season ahead and beginning to fill the home with Christmas cheer. 🎄✨
