The dance floor was officially open at Baxendale Care Home! 💃✨

A huge thank you to the amazing Zimmerettes for bringing so much joy and energy to our residents today. As you can see, our brilliant staff couldn't resist joining in the fun either! This is exactly what 'actively caring' looks like.

While staying social is vital, we also understand the value of peace and quiet. Our library and lounges offer a tranquil space for residents to relax, catch up on the news, or simply enjoy the view of our beautiful grounds.

At Baxendale, we respect the individual needs of every resident, ensuring a perfect balance between stimulating activity and restful quiet time.

Connection is at the heart of everything we do. We believe social activity should involve the whole family, which is why we love hosting events like our Annual Garden Party and our weekly Aperitif Hour.

Whether it is a competitive game of bingo or a monthly residents meeting to plan new activities, there is always a chance to socialise and feel part of the Baxendale community.

What a wonderful Friday we had at Baxendale! ✨

​On the 17th of April, we were absolutely honoured to welcome The Mayor of Barnet, Danny Rich, for a very special visit. He kindly shared a fascinating look into a day in the life of a mayor and took the time to answer all the brilliant questions our residents had for him.
​After a lovely tour of the Baxendale grounds, there was only one proper way to finish the afternoon: sitting together with a classic cup of tea and some delicious cake! ☕🍰

​Thank you, Mayor Rich, for spending such quality time with us and bringing so many smiles to our residents. Swipe through to see some of our favourite moments from the day!

Meaningful engagement has no limits. At Baxendale, our specialist sensory room provides a calming and stimulating space for all residents, including those living with dementia.

By focusing on the senses-sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell-we ensure that everyone can participate in a way that feels comfortable and rewarding for them. It is all part of our commitment to person-centred care.

Staying active is about so much more than just movement; it is about maintaining independence and boosting your mood. At Baxendale Care Home, we host regular sessions like chair aerobics and movement to music to help our residents improve their mobility and balance.

From local theatre trips to exercise classes, staying physically active helps keep the mind sharp and energy levels high.

💖 A look back at our lovely Valentine’s Day! 💖

Last month, love was certainly in the air at Baxendale as we celebrated Valentine’s Day with a full day of heart-themed fun.

Our residents got creative in the morning, designing beautiful handmade cards for their loved ones and friends. We then followed this with a very competitive (but very sweet!) round of Valentine’s Bingo! 🎲✨

It was wonderful to see everyone coming together to share stories, laughter, and a few treats. These moments of connection make our community so special.

🏮 Looking back at our Chinese New Year celebrations! 🏮

A few weeks ago, our residents had a wonderful time marking the Lunar New Year with a special craft afternoon. We stayed busy creating beautiful traditional paper lanterns, which brought so much colour and festive spirit to the home.

It was a fantastic way to enjoy some creative time together while learning about the traditions of the Year of the Snake. We still love seeing these brilliant handmade decorations around the building! 🧧✨

The best of both worlds at Baxendale. 🎭🧘‍♂️

We believe in a "packed programme" of activities-from arts and crafts and guest speakers to trips to the theatre! Keeping active is key to physical and mental health.

But we also know that "quiet time" is just as important. Our library and sun lounge offer tranquil spaces for residents to read, play a game with a friend, or simply enjoy the view. 📖☀️

It’s all about balance. ✨
