Monday 10th

 

Stoneygate Oaklands in Leicester

We received this outstanding review on carehome.co.uk! A massive well done to the incredible staff team πŸ‘πŸ‘ “The manager and the team at Stoneygate Oaklands are extremely responsive to client needs. The manager has kept me informed of my mother’s health throughout her time at the home. I travelled from New Zealand and made it to spend a few days with my mum because the manager emailed me, and my mum passed away peacefully at the home today. I rate the manager and the team very highly. A truly professional operation that cares”

Oakdene in Mansfield

We took a trip out to our local for a quick drink. The pub has put its Halloween decorations up, which we thought looked pretty cool.

Loran House in Hull

We had the amazing Lion Learners in for a fun-filled afternoon. They brought some amazing animals for the residents to meet and hold. Some fluffy ones everyone liked, and some not as fluffy ones that a few were hesitant with but enjoyed meeting.

Ivan loves a good walk, so nice to get the blood pumping even on a cool autumn morning. Plus it gives him a chance to pop to the local shop to grab a treat.

We had little Frank the bunny back in the home and he was a joy to take around. He was very relaxed with the residents and had lots of cuddles with everyone. We all think he is a lovely bunny rabbit. A big thanks to Milly for bringing him in.

Stoneygate Oaklands in Leicester

We received this outstanding review on carehome.co.uk! A massive well done to the incredible staff team πŸ‘πŸ‘
Β 
“My father was in this care home, and he had alcoholic dementia. Over the two years, he was there; all the staff got my dad off the alcohol within six months. They were very caring and friendly and treated every resident the same.
Β 
My dad was a handful, that’s why I had to put him in a care home, and because he was there, they gave him two years extra of life. I can’t thank them enough.
Β 
They let me give residents tea and coffee because it made my dad feel like he was at home because I was there with him. I would recommend Oaklands to anyone because they give 100%.”

Shirley celebrated her 79th birthday on 5th October. We sang happy birthday to her and decorated her room with balloons and banners. She loved her card and gift from Riversway! Happy Birthday, Shirley Autumn has arrived, so to celebrate we made these beautiful Autumnal wreaths to hang up in our rooms. We stuck on some autumn-coloured leaves and pine cones and finished them off by adding some essential oils to make them smell nice. We had tea and cakes with some relaxing music on the big iPad with pictures of Autumn, it was very relaxing.

She loved her gift from Riversway and how we decorated her room with balloons and banners for the day. Happy Birthday, Cecelia.
