Chilton Croft Dementia & Nursing Home

2 Days to go ! 💜💚

03/09/2024 - Sadly we said goodbye to one of our much loved residents.
RIP dearest A.S - we will miss you 🕊️❤️‍🩹

Hi Again 😊

So it’s the Paralympic Games
Opening ceremony tonight. 👩‍🦽‍➡️

I hold so much admiration for these contestants, and believe we can all learn a lot from this event , where contestants push themselves to newer heights despite their own shortcomings .

It’s here that we recognise that life isn’t always easy, but a positive attitude fueled with determination can make a huge difference to how we handle the cards we have been dealt with in what seems to be a crazy world sometimes 💙

It’s with this mindset, as we begin to wrap up August and summer draws to a close , we at Chilton have been encouraging our residents to spend lazy afternoons relaxing on the patio with us , enjoying the warmth and sunshine, reminiscing upon fond moments & sharing a chuckle together.

There really is profound peace in nature🌿🍁🌷🌻

We’ve had Live music again from the fabulously talented Sinfonia musicians , and our residents were singing and dancing along , with everyone having a fantastic afternoon together.🎸🎼🎶

Tomorrow our talented chefs will be preparing a BBQ /picnic lunch in the garden for residents and staff as we celebrate our ‘Carers United’ day. 🍔🥗🌭
Let’s hope the weather will be as kind as it has been 🤞

* A special word of thanks to the staff and residents who helped with the planting & potting on the patio , it’s looking lovely and has been appreciated by many. 🌸🌞

Til next time

Well Hi …. Ice Cream with everything please !!!🍦🍦

Hasn’t it’s been hot lately ?!! 🌞🌞

A few days we have felt absolutely exhausted from the sheer heat, but residents have still kept busy assisting us to water the
flowers , do some table height plant potting, and share some ideas on how they would like to see it look / redesign our back garden . 🌸🌸 ( More to follow on that)

Yesterday we enjoyed a special themed snack trolley where residents and staff got to taste some delicious traditional treats from Romania. 🇷🇴 So much of Yum !! Gosh I love my job 😉

Oh and last week our RM helped us rescue a bird to safety that had made its way down the chimney.
Off it flew without any thanks at all, honestly some chicks hey …😅🦜

All in all summer is in full swing , but I do think we will all feel a little better when it starts to cool down a bit.

Sending best wishes, & remember to stay hydrated !

‘Til next time

Well hello there July 🌸🌸

After a wonderful week last week of sunshine & flowers , the weather today was a little moody to say the least, so this afternoon some of the residents created a little bit of their own sunshine with some water colour painting. 🎨🖌️

Oh and I wanted to let everyone know that something exciting will be happening this month at Chilton so keep your eyes posted , as all will be revealed soon🎼🎵🎸

C’mon Summer!!! ☀️⛱️
What a beautiful day spent with some of our lovely residents in our Summerhouse today .

Delicious lunch served by our chefs , followed by the best apple crumble in town, and a game of Draughts amongst our gents to end off a perfect day. 🥰

Hooray !!! Looks like summer has finally arrived 💃

Some of our staff have been working so hard lately to get our garden ready for our lovely residents and their families to enjoy. A special thank you to those involved 🌺🌺.
