🏃‍♂️🪑💪Chair Exercises at Florence Care Home!

Our residents love to enjoy a gentle chair exercise session designed to keep everyone moving, active and engaged. ❤️

Chair-based exercises are an important part of our activities programme because they provide a safe and accessible way for residents of different abilities and mobility levels to stay physically active. They can help to maintain strength, flexibility, balance and coordination, while also supporting circulation and overall wellbeing.

Regular movement is particularly important to staying active, this can help residents maintain independence, support everyday activities and contribute to a positive mood and quality of life.

Most importantly, our exercise sessions are about moving at your own pace, having fun and enjoying time together. Every little movement counts! 🌟

The Florence House Shop 🩷🛍️
This brings a little piece of everyday life into the home. It creates an opportunity to experience the simple pleasures of shopping, choosing what you’d like, helping to stock and organise the shop. At Florence House Care Home, we believe that supporting our residents to achieve their goals big or small is an important part of creating a true sense of purpose, pride and achievement. 💜

Whether it’s trying something new, becoming a shop keeper, learning a new skill, building confidence or simply accomplishing something meaningful to them, every success deserves to be celebrated. 🎉

Our new shop keeper and her shop offer a meaningful, hands-on experience where people can make choices, contribute, develop confidence, and enjoy the sense of purpose that comes from having a small job and being part of something shared.🍬🧣👛🧃🍭

💚 Yesterday was all about kindness, appreciation and connection.

We took the opportunity to uplift people’s spirits, share meaningful messages, show appreciation and remind our wonderful staff just how important they truly are.

Working in a home is more than a job. It is about compassion, patience, understanding, kindness and being there for someone when they need you most. Our staff make a difference every single day, often through the smallest gestures, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, a reassuring conversation or simply taking the time to show someone that they matter.

We worked with the activity coordinator to create little acts of kindness, creating Thankyou cards, writing meaningful messages and giving them to each staff member to express gratitude.

Yesterday was a reminder that everyone deserves to feel valued, appreciated and seen. 💚

☕🍰 Coffee, Cake & Community at St Andrew’s Parish Church 🍰☕

What a wonderful afternoon! 💛

We are so grateful to Porthill St Andrew’s Parish Church for working alongside Florence House to raise funds for our residents through a lovely coffee and cake afternoon. It was fantastic to see such a great turnout and so much kindness and support from the local community.

The funds raised will go towards our residents’ comfort and activity funds, helping us provide extra experiences, activities and little comforts that make such a meaningful difference to the lives of those living at Florence House. 🏡❤️

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the afternoon such a success — to those who baked and donated cakes, gave their time, made donations, came along, supported the event and helped spread the word.

Your generosity and support are truly appreciated, and we are incredibly thankful to everyone at St Andrew’s Parish Church and to the wider community for helping make a difference to our residents. 🌷

Thank you for helping us create brighter days and special moments for our Florence House family. 💕

🎵Village Voices🎵
Singing isn’t just about making music, it can also encourage you to practise controlled breathing and breath support, helping you become more aware of how you use your breath.

For some people living with lung conditions or breathing difficulties, singing may help with:

🫁 Improving breath control and awareness
🌬️ Encouraging deeper, more controlled breathing
💪 Strengthening breathing muscles through regular practice
🗣️ Supporting voice projection and communication
😌 Reducing stress and promoting relaxation
❤️ Boosting confidence and self-esteem
🧠 Supporting focus, memory and mental wellbeing
👥 Reducing feelings of isolation through group singing
😊 Improving mood and overall quality of life

Singing can be a fun and accessible way to get your body, breath and voice working together. Every breath is worth celebrating! 🎵💙

Florence house and Village voices work together to help those who need 🩵

💅✨ Pamper Day at Florence House! ✨💇‍♀️

There’s nothing quite like a little pampering and some time to relax! 💕 Our residents enjoyed a wonderful pamper session, with nails cut, filed and beautifully painted, accompanied by a lovely cuppa ☕️ and some special 1-to-1 time for a chat and a catch-up.

We’re also delighted to enjoy our fabulous weekly visits from our lovely hairdresser, Aimee! 💇‍♀️ Aimee has been keeping our residents looking and feeling fantastic with everything from cuts, washes and blow-dries to perms and smart short, back and sides. Here are some of the fabulous hair styles.

It’s not just about looking great — these visits are all about wellbeing, confidence, conversation and feeling cared for. ❤️

Thank you again Aimee, for always bringing your talent, warmth and lovely smile to Florence House! 🌸✨

🐾🦋 Celebrating National Wildlife & Animal Day at Florence House Care Home! 🦁🐶

What a wonderful day we’ve had celebrating our love and appreciation for the amazing animals and wildlife that share our world! 🌿🐾

Our residents got creative with some fantastic animal-themed colouring activities and mask making, letting their imaginations run wild as they brought their favourite creatures to life. 🎨🦊🦋

We also enjoyed spending time together reading animal-themed books, sharing stories and having lovely conversations about our favourite animals, past pets and special memories. It was wonderful hearing everyone’s experiences and discovering something new from one another and from our books. 📚🐕🐈

We took some time for meaningful 1-to-1 conversations, exploring the fun idea of what our spirit animal might be and most importantly, why! 🐺🦉🦁 These conversations gave us the opportunity to reflect on our personalities, qualities and the animals we feel we connect with.

Of course, no animal-themed day would be complete without our much-loved pet therapy! 🐾❤️ Our residents were delighted to enjoy some special time with our furry friends, bringing plenty of smiles, affection and companionship to the day.

And to finish our celebrations, we enjoyed a beautifully decorated animal-themed cake - almost too lovely to eat! 🎂🐾

🍂🎨 Getting Creative & Embracing the Autumn Spirit at Florence House! 🍂🎨

There’s been a wonderful autumnal atmosphere at Florence House as our residents have been working together, getting creative and enjoying the changing season. 🍁

Our creative activity gave everyone the opportunity to share ideas, use their imagination and work together to create something special. It was lovely to see residents supporting one another, chatting, laughing and enjoying the process along the way. ❤️

We also put our cognitive and physical skills to the test with some fun and competitive games of bowling! 🎳🏆

The bowling brought plenty of friendly competition, concentration and excitement, with residents taking turns to aim for the pins and celebrate each other’s successes. Activities like these are a great way to encourage hand-eye coordination, balance, focus and movement, while also providing lots of opportunities for social interaction and a bit of healthy competition!

Most importantly, there were plenty of smiles, laughter and encouragement throughout the activities. It was fantastic to see everyone getting involved, having fun and enjoying time together. 🌟Welcoming September with smiles and enthusiasm!

🌟 A HUGE THANK YOU & GOOD LUCK, MARTINA! 🌟

We would like to say a massive thank you to our wonderful Kitchen Manager, Martina, who after an incredible 10 years with the company, is sadly leaving us for pastures new. ❤️
Martina is moving on to an exciting new role at the hospital, and although we are so pleased for her, she is going to be very much missed here at Florence House.
You have been such a huge part of Florence House over the years, and we cannot thank you enough for all your hard work, dedication and care. You have always gone that extra mile, and your contribution to the home has meant so much.
You will be missed by all of the staff, and especially our residents, who have come to know and love you over the years. 🥰
Martina, we wish you all the luck in the world in your new role. They are very lucky to have you!

Take care, look after yourself, and don’t be a stranger. ❤️
Thank you for an amazing 10 years — from everyone at Florence House. 💐❤️
