🎄 Is it too early to mention Christmas? 🤭

Not in Broomfield House here in Castleross Nursing Home, where our residents are already getting a head start on their Christmas preparations.

With a little help from Activities Coordinator Amy and Healthcare Assistant Laura, our residents enjoyed a lovely card-making session, getting creative and spreading a little early festive cheer. 🎨✂️❤️

After all, it's never too early to get organised for Christmas, is it? 🎅😂

💕 A sea of pink at Castleross Nursing Home, Carrickmacross, on Wednesday, 21st October. A very special day as our Residents and staff came together for our Pink Day in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Irish Cancer Society

Everyone embraced the occasion, with our Residents joining in and wearing their best pink outfits. As you can see from the photos, pink was definitely the colour of the day. 💗

🎀 We also held a fundraising raffle, with some lovely prizes up for grabs. A special thank you to Ann Kingham, who helped organise the day and generously baked five delicious cakes, along with buns, for our raffle.

Some of our lucky Resident winners were delighted to bring their cakes back to their houses to share with friends over a cuppa. ☕🍰

💕 A heartfelt thank you to everyone who participated, donated and helped make the day such a success. Especially our Activities Coordinator, Amy. 🥰👏

We are continuing to accept donations until Friday, 23rd October, for anyone who would still like to contribute to this very worthy cause.

A wonderful day of community spirit, kindness and generosity here at Castleross. 💗

Music, Memories and Moments to Treasure

Our residents have been thoroughly enjoying the Memories and Melodies programme here at Castleross Nursing Home.

With live music from Brendan McCahey Wedding Band and wonderful storytelling from Francis McCarron, our first two sessions have been filled with familiar tunes, nostalgic memories and opportunities to enjoy music together.

From the much-loved Showband Era to Country Time and International Classics, this special programme celebrates the music and stories that have touched so many lives.

We are so grateful to Monaghan County Council, Creative Ireland and Age Friendly Ireland for making these wonderful experiences possible, and to Brendan and Francis for sharing their talents with our residents.

We've had a fantastic time so far and look forward to welcoming them back for our final session!

Music, memories and a few familiar tunes! Our residents at Castleross Nursing Home have been thoroughly enjoying the wonderful live music sessions as part of the Memories and Melodies programme.

Brendan McCahey Wedding Band brought music to life for our residents, creating a lovely atmosphere filled with familiar melodies and opportunities to reminisce and enjoy the songs we know and love.

While our Residents enjoyed the storytelling by Francis McCarron (more about that later in this week - watch this page)

We have already enjoyed two fantastic sessions and are looking forward to our final visit.

A sincere thank you to Age Friendly Ireland, Monaghan County Council and Creative Ireland for organising this wonderful programme, and to Brendan for sharing and Francis for sharing their wonderful talents with our residents.

🚌 More Photos from our Bus Trips Recently

As promised, here’s Part 2 of our recent bus trip photos 📸

Our residents really enjoy getting out and about, taking in the scenery, enjoying the chats and, of course, keeping an eye on that much-sought-after front seat 😄

Thanks again to Peter, our driver and resident tour guide, for taking us on some lovely trips. 🚌👏

Where will we head to next? The Residents Decide that with Peter 😊

🎱 Bingo & a Little Pampering ✂️😊

We enjoyed a great game of bingo in Creevy House at Castleross Nursing Home this week, with a little pampering happening at the same time🥰

Our hairdresser Laura was busy looking after the gentlemen's haircuts, and Jemmy certainly wasn’t going to let a haircut get in the way of his bingo, enjoying the best of both worlds 😄

And of course, our wonderful Dympna, at an amazing 104 years young, joined in too and was happily managing her bingo card all by herself. ❤️

A lovely afternoon of fun, concentration, conversation and plenty of smiles.
