Sunday was all about slowing down and enjoying a little well-earned pampering!🧖‍♂️✨

For our residents’ Lazy Sunday, we transformed the afternoon into a relaxing hand and foot spa, complete with bubbles, face masks and calming music.

Of course, there was still plenty of chatting and laughter between treatments! Everyone finished the afternoon feeling relaxed, refreshed and thoroughly pampered. 💙

Residents became chefs for the afternoon, working together to create their very own delicious pizzas! 🍕

Once the all-important topping decisions had been made, everyone got stuck in, choosing the right utensils before grating, chopping, slicing and assembling their creations together.

There was some brilliant teamwork around the table and plenty of hands-on preparation before the pizzas headed off to cook.

And the verdict? Absolutely delicious! 💙

Last Wednesday, we celebrated International Coconut Day with a little taste of the tropics! 🥥🌴

Residents had the chance to sample a variety of coconut-inspired foods and drinks, with plenty of opinions shared as everyone decided on their favourites.

Alongside the tasting, we discovered some interesting facts about coconuts and learned a little more about this very versatile fruit.

A fun afternoon of trying something different, learning together and, of course, plenty of tasting! 💙🥥

This week, residents enjoyed another exciting instalment of our Armchair Travels series, this time visiting Australia!

We put our knowledge to the test with Australian-themed word searches, trivia and quizzes, while learning more about the culture and famous landmarks of the Land Down Under. To round off the afternoon, residents sampled some local food and drink, bringing a taste of Australia right to our home.

A wonderful afternoon of fun, learning and adventure without leaving our chairs!

This week, we held another Pyjama Day here at Ford Place!

On the first Thursday of every month, we come together in our pyjamas to help raise funds for activities and experiences for our wonderful residents. It was lovely to see so many residents getting involved and joining in the fun, helping to create a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere throughout the day.

A big thank you to everyone who took part and supported this month's fundraiser.

Today we celebrated National Bow Tie Day in style by dressing for the occasion, of course! This morning, residents got creative making paper bow ties before enjoying a game on our brand-new giant Ludo board, which proved to be great fun for everyone involved. In the afternoon, we explored our artistic side, learning how to create beautiful flowers using paint and cotton buds. Everyone had a go, and the results were truly impressive, with residents producing some wonderful masterpieces. A fantastic day filled with creativity, laughter and friendly competition!

We might be a little biased, but we think our gardens at Ford Place are a pretty special place to spend a summer’s day. 🌿☀️

Whether it’s enjoying activities outdoors, catching up with family and friends or simply finding a quiet spot to sit back and enjoy the fresh air, our residents have certainly been making the most of them this summer.

We loved seeing our garden featured over on the Stow Healthcare page, so we thought we’d share it here too! 💙

We’ve been adding a little extra sweetness to the day as residents celebrated Cupcake Day! 🧁🍰

Our lovely Activities Coordinator treated everyone to some delicious cakes to enjoy alongside our morning games, which certainly went down well!

A simple but very tasty way to make our usual morning activities that little bit more special. 💙

🤠 A little taste of the Wild West came to Ford Place! 🌵

Our annual Summer Fête had a Country & Western twist this year, and residents, relatives and colleagues certainly embraced the theme, with some brilliant outfits helping to set the scene.

There was plenty to enjoy throughout the day, from music and delicious food to sack racing, horseshoe pitching, a raffle and tombola. Most importantly, it was a lovely opportunity for everyone to come together, have fun and enjoy the summer celebrations.

We're also delighted to have raised an amazing £365! 💙

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us, donated, helped behind the scenes or simply came along to enjoy the day. Your support helped make our Country & Western fête one to remember! 🐎🎶

A little homemade preparation went into our Summer Fête, with residents rolling up their sleeves for a sausage roll baking session! 👩‍🍳💙

Everyone got involved in preparing a batch ready for the big day, and we're pleased to report they went down very well at the fête – they tasted absolutely delicious!
