Wednesday: Bake Day
Our residents baked scones and marble cake. The residents really enjoy our bake days. They relish the tactile feel of making bread, scones, and decorating buns.
Baking in nursing homes can be quite therapeutic. Weighing the ingredients, kneading dough, stirring cake mixes is relaxing. It is a social and sensory activity. This activity leads to reminiscing about their days of baking. Decorating cakes or buns is also good fun and it also gives a sense of pride in achievement.

Happy Onam 2025!

We are delighted to celebrate this special festival with all our residents and staff.

Onam is a vibrant 10-day harvest festival celebrated by the Malayali community in Kerala and around the world. In 2025, the festivities began on August 26 and will culminate with Thiruvonam on Friday, September 5.

This 10-day festival is marked by a variety of traditions. Pookalam refers to elaborate floral designs created at entrances to welcome King Mahabali. These arrangements grow grander with each layer, often featuring ten rings of flowers, with the center made of yellow flowers to represent King Mahabali.

The Onam Sadya (Onam feast), held on the tenth day of the festival, is traditionally served on a banana leaf and usually includes at least nine courses with a variety of vegetables.

May this festive season bring joy, peace, and prosperity to you and your family.

What a way to end our Nursing Homes week!...
We were so delighted to welcome some of our lovely Indian colleagues to perform cultural songs and stories with our residents. They told the story of King Mahabili who we were delighted was able to attend and also there to present one of our residents with his birthday cake! Our Indian staff are such an integral and important part of the Nursing Home and our local towns and villages. We are honoured and privileged to have had such a beautiful experience and to enjoy a little bit of their culture. Thank you to all who participated and we are looking forward to your next performance over the festive season!

As part of Nursing Homes week our residents got to meet some unusual "house pets" today.. We welcomed "Captain" the Bearded Dragon, Huckleberry the ferret & Izzie the parrot. Many of our residents have never been close to lizards or even parrots before so it was a very new experience. They have many memories of their different and varied pets some of which actually were pet ferrets. We had a great discussion about the different types of animals they raised and the various different names they had for them. It is safe to say that in this modern world, pets have become alot more exotic in homes. We thank Pamela for bringing in her much loved pets to visit and offering us all an unforgettable experience! 🦎🐦🦫

The theme for Nursing Homes week is A Taste of Home.

Today our residents have been busy making traditional Irish brown bread. This is something many of our residents male and female would be used to baking whilst growing up in Ireland. Traditionally it was cooked on griddles over fires. Our residents reminisced on the various ways they made bread and how they remembered their mothers making it. They enjoyed the finished product today at tea time and it went down a treat. Benefits of baking include stress relief, promoting creativity, the opportunity to socialize and feelings of independence. Well done to all involved today.
