A marverlous monday morning, Alex Southgate Musician helped make our week start well.
Music, singing, dancing is so powerful, for some communication isn't as easy as it used to be yet music and singing together means we communicate in a way we all can understand and be included.

Even time for a room visit.

Thankyou Alex

St Johns Church led our Rememberance Service.
Our Castle choir sang "We'll meet again"

The monlthy services are so important to those that live here, many who have been part of a church community for a long time.

"What is Diwali?"
"One of the lovely ladies were telling me about the beautiful celebrations, sounds amazing"

In recent residents monthly meetings those that live here have wanted to find our more about Diwali: so a Diwali afternoon was planned.

With many of the team involved in today: from dancing, outfits, decorations, tech, snacks and most importantely supporting those that live here to be involved.

We had a visit from FaNs Network Grandfriends, where we made rangoli drawings, tasted sweet treats and a host of children and team members dancing.
💃🕺😀🎇🎆🎉

Well done and thankyou to all those involved

Bill, who lives here at St Fillan’s Care Home, recently enjoyed reminiscing about his time in the Armed Forces with ex-Army Captain Ann-Marie Harmer, now Excelcare’s Dementia Care Implementation Business Partner.

From Bill’s National Service in the RAF to his 20 years in the Territorial Army, followed by his time supporting the next generation through the Essex Army Cadet Force, his service to this country spanned a lifelong career.

Bill even received a Certificate of Meritorious Service in recognition of his contribution to the cadets!

Alongside Ann-Marie’s own stories from her time serving with the Queen Alexandra’s Royal Army Nursing Corps, the pair compared experiences, shared a few laughs and celebrated the friendships, teamwork and camaraderie that military life brings.

A lovely opportunity to share memories, recognise a lifetime of service and bring two generations together. 🌺🪖
