Briercliffe Lodge Care Home

Residents have been joining in with an early birthday party to celebrate King Charles special day. We played various games including building a guard, fill in the gaps, a jigsaw of the King and they even had a cream tea. Later on residents played dominoes and joined in with a quiz about the Royal family, so it's been a busy day.

A Huge THANKS to Martin Lunn today for coming into the Lodge to give the most interesting talk and slide show on the Vikings and stars. Residents always enjoy his visit, along with the cake and drinks that were served.

We had a afternoon of Memory games and chats yesterday. Thanks to everyone who joined in. So wonderful to see residents interacting, but most of all we love the laughter.

A little game of Hot shots, lots of laughter. 🏅🎖🏆.
Also a big Happy birthday to our very own Angela Alton . Thanks for sharing your birthday with us .

Residents have been to the monthly meeting this afternoon. Room visits have been arts and crafts and refining the King's birthday card and this afternoon residents took part in floor games and table top games, along with catching up with friends and family. What an amazing day.

We welcomed the reception class today from Coates Lane school who were all very well behaved. The children sang songs, played some table top games and went round each resident to have a chat. Even the residents commented on how well behaved they were. Later on some residents played memory games with the activity Coordinator.

Thursday our activity coordinator, Andrea brought in one of her heirloom sampler quilts to show residents. Many of the ladies recalled a time when they made clothes for their children and others reminisced about their family sewing.

It's been national biscuit day today and residents tucked in to a variety of tasty biscuits. Two of the residents remembered 8 of the biscuits on the list and all the residents reminisced about baking in years gone by.
