We recently hosted our Breast Cancer Afternoon Tea Fundraiser, and it was a tremendous success. We were privileged to have the incredible Jenny with us, who led an insightful and educational talk covering all aspects of breast cancer, including prevention, early detection, and treatment options. Her expertise provided valuable knowledge to everyone in attendance.

If you’d like to learn more about the signs and symptoms to be aware of, as well as other important information, please take a moment to explore the resources available here https://breastcancernow.org/.

At Broad Oak, we have our very own Chair Exercise Instructor. We run regular classes throughout the month for our residents.

It's pretty amazing how much regular exercise can do for you. Not only does it improve your cardiovascular health, increase bone density, and boost your balance and mobility, but it also does wonders for your mood. Exercise has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety, and it even enhances cognitive function. So, it's not just about looking good; it's about feeling great too!

If you would like even more benefits and examples of good exercise it is available at: https://www.nia.nih.gov/health/exercise-and-physical-activity/real-life-benefits-exercise-and-physical-activity.

Thank you so much to everyone at the "They Matter" group. Our residents thoroughly enjoyed your visit, and we are deeply grateful for the wonderful activity mats you generously gifted us.

The History Behind Broad Oak Manor Nursing Home

Built-in 1742, Broad Oak Manor originally served as the home farm for the nearby Goldings Estate. In 1926, it transitioned into a private manor house, passing through the hands of various owners, including the Barclay family. Renowned architects Sir Edwin Lutyens and Harry Stuart Goodhart-Rendel made several significant improvements to the property.

During World War II, Broad Oak Manor provided temporary offices for a firm of accountants whose premises had been bombed.

In 1986, the manor was converted into what we now know as Broad Oak Manor Nursing Home and for the past 38 years, we have been dedicated to providing care and compassion to numerous residents and their families.

We invite you to share your own stories and experiences with our lovely Broad Oak Manor.

Today, our residents had a fantastic trip to the zoo! 🦁

Lots of excitement, laughter, and unforgettable
moments. Everyone enjoyed getting up close with the
animals and making wonderful memories! 🐾🌿

🌻 Gardening Club 🌻

Today, our residents got their hands dirty and planted their very own sunflowers! 🌻

Did you know?

Sunflowers track the sun 🌞 - In a behaviour known as heliotropism, young sunflowers face east in the morning and then follow the sun as the earth moves during the day.

They're great for the environment 🌱 - Sunflowers are not only beautiful but also great for the environment. They can help clean up contaminated soil by absorbing toxins like lead, arsenic, and uranium.

They're very thirsty! 💧 - Sunflowers need a lot of water to grow. They can drink up to 1.5 litres of water per day!

We can't wait to see our sunflowers grow and brighten up our garden! Stay tuned for more updates from the Gardening Club. 🌻✨

🌟 It's Mental Health Awareness Week! 🌟

It's important to check in with ourselves and with those around us. Let's prioritize self-care, compassion, and understanding.

Together, let's create a supportive community where everyone feels safe to talk about their mental health. 💚

Meet Lovely Yogi, our weekly visitor to Broad Oak Manor.

Did you know that animal-assisted therapy has been proven to significantly enhance mental and physical well-being?

Interacting with animals triggers the release of endorphins, oxytocin, prolactin, and dopamine, inducing relaxation and reducing anxiety and loneliness. This therapy also lowers blood pressure, improves cardiovascular health, reduces medication dependency, and alleviates pain.

This afternoon, the residents immersed themselves in the therapeutic power of art, creating stunning paintings 🎨.
