With all the heavy rain lately, it hasn’t been easy for residents at Fordingbridge Care Home to get out and about in the local area. Last week, Richard fancied a walk down to the river to see how high the water levels were. In many places, the river had burst its banks and spilled over into nearby fields and parks. Luckily, they managed to avoid the rain, and Richard really enjoyed getting some fresh air, stretching his legs, and seeing the local area looking so different.

As part of the Allegra Household Model, residents are encouraged to continue activities they enjoyed before moving into the care home, or to try something new they have always wanted to do. On Saturday, residents at Fordingbridge Care Home chose to spend the afternoon baking and made some delicious apple turnovers. Everyone enjoyed getting involved, but the highlight of the day was definitely tasting their home-baked treats.

Thoughts are turning to spring with bulbs springing up all around and at the Blossom Fields Gardening Club the plans are well underway for the months ahead. This week residents enjoyed planting some Sweet Peas and Nasturtiums and will cultivate a range of plants over the coming weeks. So many of the home's residents love gardening and it is important that hobbies and interests are continued as part of life in the home.

Congratulations to The Grove's January Employee of the Month Joseph.

Joseph has gone above and beyond in every way the past month including spending two full weeks helping with decorating around the home. Joseph didn’t just focus on the decorating - he continued to support his colleagues, answering bells, making cups of tea, and even helping serve meals during busy times.

Joseph's dedication, energy, and positive attitude have been truly inspiring! Joseph has done an amazing job, and the team are so proud to see his hard work recognised and he has now been promoted to painter and decorator. Everyone knows he will continue to support the team and residents with the same enthusiasm, care, and commitment he shows every day. Well done Joseph.

With Valentine's Day around the corner love is in the air at Blossom Fields.

Residents created some stencil art hearts which were very effective once the heart stencil was removed and array of colours stood out. Another enjoyable arts and crafts session at Blossom Fields.

The Grove residents enjoyed a sausage roll workshop run by Head Chef Jose. The workshops support Allegra Care's Household Model with residents taking an active role in food preparation. The resulting bakes were not only delicious but also looked very professional!

It has been a very sociable week for residents of The Grove and Blossom Fields in Winterbourne near Bristol. Going along to local coffee mornings and Memory Cafes means residents maintain connections with the community that so many have lived in all their lives.

The team took residents along to a different Memory Cafe held at Chipping Sodbury Baptist Church and there such a warm welcome. The residents really enjoyed taking part in the craft activity.

There was also the usual monthly visit to the Winterbourne Memory Cafe run by Alzheimer's Society and South Gloucestershire Council. There was a speaker this month from the Alzheimer's Society. Winterbourne Parish Council monthly coffee morning is always enjoyed as are the visits to the Library Coffee Morning. The team and residents haven't let the weather stop any outings but it has been a little wet at times! Thank you everyone at all the venues visited who always ensure there are plentiful hot drinks and treats to enjoy.
