Sadly one of our residents passed away yesterday. Today a close friend of his kindly brought in this vase filled to the brim with sweets for the staff to say thank you for the care that was given during his stay with us. Always in our thoughts 🙏

On Thursday last week the residents and staff were treated to a visit from some members of the Beccles Salvation Army. They played a variety of songs and residents and staff enjoyed singing along.

Today we held a coffee morning for staff, residents and family members as part of our efforts to raise funds for our Amenity fund for residents. The Wellbeing team and staff outdid themselves with cakes and beautiful china cups and teapots! Everyone had a great time.

Over the weekend residents painted some plant pots ready to brighten up the activities room for winter.

Last week residents and carers enjoyed making paper aeroplanes and origami animals. We have some of the origami on display in the home.

Something quite different today, we spotted a bat who looked a bit worse for wear. We quickly looked up what to do, and found the Bat Conservation Trust website which gave us some great advise. We managed to catch the bat and keep him/her in a warm dark place whilst we wait for further assistance. Stay tuned for further updates.

Home - Bat Conservation Trust The Bat Conservation Trust was formed in 1990 as an umbrella organisation for the rapidly growing network of bat groups, providing support, training and advice.

Residents were treated to a musical sing along with the two R's yesterday, Richard and Roger. We sang a range of songs including Wooden Heart by Elvis and Ernie (The Fastest Milkman In The West) 🎼🎤🪕🎶🎵🎶

Over the weekend our wellbeing team and residents made some lovely flower arrangements to go on our dining tables. Don't they look lovely.

Part 2! - Here is the completed pond refurbishment, how much better is this?
A huge thanks goes to everyone that donated, brought cakes to make this happen. A special mention goes to Andrew and Stephen Berry for their hard work in completing the refurb for us and donating their time to help us achieve this great outcome.

Following on from our successful cake sale to fund our pond refurbishment. Part one has been completed and here are the before pictures. We had to empty the pond, replace the lining and give everything a good clean. The fish were temporarily relocated to a small pool whilst the renovations were taking place. Stay tuned for tomorrow's post where we will show you the after pictures.
