🍪 A Delicious Day last Monday at Castleross Nursing Home at our “Bake with Ann" afternoon 👩‍🍳

Ann had plenty of help from Claire, our Healthcare Assistant in Creevy House, her granddaughter Chloe who joined us for the day, and our wonderful activities coordinators, Amy & Frances. ❤️

Together, they made mince pies and shortbread, and our residents had a blast cutting out and decorating their own biscuits. Everything was enjoyed with either a steaming hot chocolate or some of our delicious non-alcoholic mulled wine, made fresh in our kitchen. 🎄☕

A big thank you to everyone who joined in — it was a lovely and festive day🎅

We enjoyed a lovely festive workshop yesterday in our Community Centre, where residents created beautiful Christmas centrepieces. With Christmas music playing, plenty of treats, and lots of laughs, everyone really got into the spirit of the season.

Each resident made their own unique piece and brought it back to their houses to proudly display in the dining room — or in their bedrooms if they prefer. 💐🎅

We’re already looking forward to next Tuesday, when we’ll be holding another workshop to make some special decorations for our Christmas trees.
