Boars Tye Cake Decorating Fun! 🍰🎨

What’s better than a cupcake?
A cupcake you’ve designed yourself, of course! 😄🧁✨

Our residents rolled up their sleeves, grabbed their sprinkles, and unleashed their inner cake artists today — and the results were deliciously fabulous! From colourful swirls to sprinkle explosions, every cupcake was a mini masterpiece… and yes, they tasted just as good as they looked! 😋🎉

There was laughter, creativity, and plenty of icing (maybe a little too much icing… but who’s judging? 🙈✨)

🌟 Oh no they didn’t… oh YES they did! 🌟

We’ve had the most wonderful morning here with the fantastic Musical Theatre students from who came in and performed a beautiful medley of songs. Their voices were absolutely outstanding! 🎶✨

Our staff and residents were treated to a morning filled with singalongs, laughter, and even a few happy tears as the lyrics and performances touched everyone’s hearts. 💛

To show our appreciation, all the students were gifted individually packed brownies made with love by our amazing Head Chef, Martine. 🍫👏

🌟 Come Dine With Me at Boars Tye House 🌟

This month we enjoyed another heart‑warming instalment of our Come Dine With Me initiative—an experience that celebrates choice, dignity, and truly person‑centred care.

Each month, Monica works closely with our Resident of the Month to create a personalised menu they would love to share with a special someone. Their chosen meal is then added to our lunchtime menu so all residents can enjoy it too. It’s a lovely way to honour individuality and bring everyone together through food. ❤️

This month, Jill chose to share her meal with her daughter Mandy. Jill selected a delicious menu of homemade lasagne with a fresh side salad, followed by a handmade toffee tart for dessert. 😋✨

Everything was prepared from scratch by our talented kitchen team—and it was enjoyed just as much as it was made with love.

Moments like this remind us how meaningful these shared experiences are. 💛

Supporting someone living with dementia starts with understanding, not correction.

Simple things such as tone of voice, body language, familiar routines, and calm surroundings can make a significant difference to how safe and settled someone feels.

At Boars Tye House, we adapt our care to each individual, meeting residents where they are and responding to their needs with dignity and compassion.

It’s bowls o’clock! 🎳😂

What a wildly competitive afternoon at Boars Tye House! Whoever said bowls is an easy game has clearly never witnessed this level of determination, precision… and rolling‑ball chaos.

Monica gave it her best — but her ball seemed to have its own ideas and insisted on heading to the completely wrong side of the room. At this point, we’re considering giving it a sat‑nav. 🧭🤣

A brilliant time was had by all — plenty of skill, plenty of laughs, and just the right amount of friendly rivalry!

Question time:
👉 Who do you think had the most accurate aim today — or the funniest bowl? Let us know in the comments!

🎈 Hit the Balloon with a Bean Bag! 🎈

Our Well‑Being Leads are always coming up with new and creative activities for our residents — and this one was a hit! All you need is a balloon, a cup, and a bean bag… simple, fun, and full of laughter!

Dolly, Jill, Martin, and Cyril were absolutely brilliant at it. Carer Emily and Well‑Being Lead Monica… not quite as accurate, but definitely the source of the day’s giggles! 😄

At Boar Tye House, we’re always striving to keep our residents active and engaged, as regular movement helps prevent muscle wastage and boosts overall wellbeing.

🧩 Boars Tye House Brain Teaser! 🧠✨
It's the weekend, which means it’s time to get those brains buzzing again!

Last week’s riddle answer was ROOM NUMBER — well done to everyone who guessed correctly! 👏
Now Monica has a brand‑new puzzle to test your mind…



🔮 This is a coin puzzle that even science can’t explain
A magical little trick that seems to bend the laws of nature!

Imagine a triangle:

◾ 8 coins on the left side
◾ 8 coins on the right side
◾ 8 coins along the bottom

Each side has exactly 8 coins.

Here’s the challenge:
We have three extra coins that need to be added…
BUT every side of the triangle must still only add up to 8 coins. 🤯

Can you figure it out?

Early signs of dementia are not always obvious and they’re not always about forgetting.

Families often notice changes such as increased anxiety, difficulty following conversations, sensitivity to noise, or a loss of confidence in familiar routines.

Recognising these signs helps families better understand what their loved one may be experiencing. It also helps care teams respond with patience, reassurance, and the right level of support, something we prioritise at Boars Tye House.

🌼 Dignity in Companionship 🌼

While we have residents who love the roar and loudness of the activities we provide on a daily basis 🎉, some prefer a 1 to 1 moment of just holding a hand 🤝, a warm hug 🤗 or a quiet chat over a cup of tea ☕. At Boars Tye House, we do it all. 💛

We never pressure anyone to join in. Instead, we meet each person where they are, offering comfort, companionship, and connection in the way that feels right to them.

Because dignity means choice — and at Boars Tye House, we make sure every resident has exactly that.

What moments of quiet companionship mean the most to you or your loved one?

Tech Time at Boars Tye House! 🎉

Who says you need a passport or a deck of cards to have fun? With our electronic interactive table, the world is literally at our residents’ fingertips — and yes, it even comes on wheels, so we can roll the fun right over to you!

Peter jumps straight into a lively game of cards, while Brian loves zooming around Google Earth, revisiting all the amazing places he’s travelled. The smiles, the stories, the “Oh I remember that!” moments… it’s pure magic.

What game or place would you explore first on our interactive table?
