LIFELONG LEARNING

Congratulations goes to Madalina Costita, who passed her Care Certificate in December 2018

Also too  Marco Antraca, who finished his Advanced Level Apprenticeship in Adult Social Care.

Well done both of you! We are proud to have you in our team!

DIGNI-TEA PARTY

As every year Birchy Hill’s Residents and Staff celebrated Dignity Day.

As a lovely tradition we gathered together for a “Digni-Tea Party” with a tasty cake, cut by our Resident Betty.

We were entertained by “Beatles Tunes” and last but not least Marco Monteiro, Senior Health Care Assistant, was honoured being a Dignity Champion.

He received his badge and had to promise to follow the 10 Dignity-Do’s.

Well done Marco, congratulations!

BRING THE OUTSIDE IN……………….

We do not often have snow in the South, but last week we had enough to make some snow balls.

It was too cold and to slippery for our Residents to experience the snow outside, so we brought the snow balls in!

It was great fun for everybody touching or holding a massive snow ball.

It brought lots of laughter to everybody.

HAPPY HOUR AT BIRCHY HILL

Gin and Tonic, Baileys and a choice of wines were on offer for our first Happy Hour in 2019.

Many Residents, and some Family members joined our little get together, listening to retro music from records and having a little ‘tipple’.

But believe me, the pink Gin was an all-time favourite with Ladies and Gentlemen alike.

It will become a regular activity in Birchy Hill, I guess. Cheers!

See you again soon.

TOOL SHOP FOR STIMULATION

Recently ‘Cyril’s Second Hand and Vintage Tool Shop’ opened in Birchy Hill.

You can find it on your way to Cherry Court units, built to stimulate people with Dementia.

Another Project created by our Head of Maintenance Gordon Manley.

Well done!
