It was a lovely surprise for many of our Residents.

Wendy Hawkes, the Activity Organiser, brought her pet dog ‘Bugsy’ to see the Residents.

They loved petting this well behaved girl, which lead them to remember their own pets back in the time.

This visit started lots of conversations and will hopefully repeated many times.

A few Residents went out to lunch at a local Pub near us

Here they are enjoying their food and a little tipple

Orchid care Home has been featured in the Take a Break Magazine with a two page spread on two of our Residents that we sadly lost last year

At this point we would like to say a very big ‘Thank you’ to everyone who helped to make this week such a great success,

Our Chef Sam, who spoiled us with yummy cakes.

‘Miss Annie’ who stood in for ‘The Land Girls’ with very short notice

Our Training Officer Jeannie, who offered extra Dignity training sessions

The Leisure and Lifestyle team, who organised all activities

The Vicar Chris for his moving speech

Our Manager Mark, who supported us and made it possible, and all our Care staff helping in many ways.

Last but not least thank you to our Visitors and Residents, who made this a week to remember!

Thank You all!

Our Digni-Tea Party was in full swing with “Miss Annie’s” wonderful singing. She entertained us in the style of the 40s and 50s and finished with an old time sing along.

The Residents were thrilled, you could hear them singing and humming and some  had to get up to have a little dance.

Thank you, Annie, we enjoyed your entertainment thoroughly!
