A Week at PrimeLife 12th – 18th September 2022

Monday 12th

 

Meadow View in Alcester

We received this outstanding review on carehome.co.uk! A massive well done to the incredible staff team πŸ‘πŸ‘
Β 
“After a very long time spent in hospital and COVID, my mother’s health deteriorated terribly and it was realised my mother wouldn’t enjoy the rest of her life – until we moved her to Meadow View.
Β 
It feels like the most amazing gift to now see my mother living a semi-independent life, to see her happy and engaging and it’s all down to the staff. The team are outstanding in every way. Not only have they made my mother settle in, my sister and daughter feel so welcome. Nothing is too much. My mother is now enjoying her life with the beat team.”
Β 
We had creative Mojo visit the home, who worked with the residents to create this beautiful memorial for Queen Elizabeth II. We think they did an amazing job!

Rita had a lovely chat with Ashleigh whilst enjoying a pamper! She had her nails done and enjoyed a cake and cuppa!

Tuesday 13th

 

Oakdene in Mansfield

We wanted to leave some flowers and a card for our Queen, so our lovely staff member Donna and her husband Ken kindly travelled to London to personally take them for us. Thank you, Donna and Ken! We have been enjoying the sunshine with some walks. Nice way to enjoy the weather and keep fit.

We very much enjoyed a game of bowling, followed by an American-style lunch with Hot Dogs and Fries. It was a brilliant day out!

Thank you, Edward, for helping!
 

Wednesday 14th

 

Meadow View in Alcester

The residents have been cutting out pictures of the Queen so that we could create this wonderful display as a tribute to her majesty. It’s nice to have somewhere to come and reminisce on our thoughts of the Queen and what she meant to us all.

We had fun making our own Cornish pasties!
Mixing and cutting the ingredients up to make them was very fun and they tasted delicious after with a cuppa!
 

Oakdene in Mansfield

We have started a book of remembrance of the Queen.
We are going to fill it with crafts we make as tributes to Elizabeth II.
We played a few rounds of Guess The Group. We played some good old tunes by some groups and the residents had to guess who they were. Geoff really enjoyed playing this one!
