“If you go down to the woods today…”

Inspired by the treasured teddy bears some of our residents keep in their rooms, we held a special Teddy Bears' Picnic in the garden.

Residents brought along their beloved bears, many of which had been treasured since childhood and are now more than 90 years old! Over delicious teddy bear cupcakes made by our chef, everyone shared the stories and memories behind their special bears.

Our Companions brought their own teddies too, and we enjoyed learning some fascinating facts about the history of teddy bears and singing some favourite teddy bear songs.

There were plenty of smiles as the bears were passed around for cuddles - and residents agreed it had been a truly ‘beary’ special afternoon! 🧸💕

💙 We’re walking for dementia!

We’re delighted to be taking part in Dementia Support Hampshire & IOW's Walk for Dementia this September, with our residents and team getting involved to help raise funds and awareness for people living with dementia.

This year marks the charity’s fifth Walk for Dementia, with a new format making it easier than ever to participate. You can walk anytime, anyplace, anywhere throughout September – whether that’s a stroll around your local area, a walk in the park or a longer adventure.

As a Colten Care home, we’re also proud that Colten Care is supporting the campaign as a sponsor ✨

Last year’s event raised an incredible £12,000, helping the charity support people living with dementia across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. We’d love to see even more people getting involved this year! 🚶‍♀️💙

🎂🎶 What a wonderful way to celebrate an 81st birthday! 💙

For her special day, we reunited our resident Averil with her former choir, the Jubilee Singers, for an afternoon filled with music, friendship and happy memories. ❤️

One of the most special moments came when Averil took to the piano, playing alongside her old choir friends as residents, relatives and guests joined in with the singing. It was a truly heartwarming celebration, followed by a birthday tea shared with friends old and new 🎹🎵☕

Reflecting on the day, Averil said: "It was an unforgettable day."

Happy Birthday, Averil! Thank you for letting us be part of such a special celebration 🥳🎈

A very special adventure to the Isle of Wight! ⛴️🌿

Residents Mollie, Diana and Shirley enjoyed a wonderful day exploring the island, making one of Mollie’s wishes come true.

From the scenic ferry crossing to Cowes, a visit to The Old Smithy’s Gardens in Godshill and beautiful countryside drives, it was a day filled with smiles, memories and friendship.

Mollie was so touched by the experience that she later wrote a heartfelt letter sharing how much the day meant to her.

As Shirley said perfectly: “Thank you for a marvellous day.” 💙

We also saddled up recently for a very special birthday celebration as our wonderful resident Mollie enjoyed a surprise John Wayne-themed afternoon! ⭐🎂

Knowing how much Mollie loves the legendary Hollywood cowboy, we transformed Kingfishers for a Western-inspired celebration complete with a cowboy-themed afternoon tea and even a life-size John Wayne cut-out! 📸🌵 Needless to say, posing for photos with her favourite film star brought plenty of smiles and laughter.

Happy Birthday, Mollie! We hope your special day was one to remember 🤠❤️

We recently had a wonderful day celebrating our amazing resident June as she turned 100 years young! 💙🎂

Inspired by June's lifelong love of music and dancing, we transformed Kingfishers into a 1940s dance hall for an afternoon of swing, singing and celebration 👑✨ As In the Mood played, June made a very special entrance as our "Queen of the Dance Floor", surrounded by her family, friends, fellow residents and team.

When asked her secret advice after 100 incredible years, June simply said: "Don't rush things." 💙

Happy 100th Birthday, June! Thank you for letting us share such a memorable milestone with you 🥂🎈
