Oh I do like to be beside the seaside – A trip to the pier and Olympic fever
It’s been a busy time over at our residential home in Worthing, Fernbank. The activities team there are keeping our residents on their toes with a trip to Worthing Pier. After a jaunt along the promenade, residents could cool off with an ice cream. The weather was perfect for an afternoon by the sea and everyone had a fantastic day.
There was also a healthy competition recently, as the team from Fernbank were hosted by residents and staff from White Lodge in Littlehampton for a mini Olympics. It all took place with a healthy sporting respect, the main goal was to bring friends from our other homes together and enjoy some exercise. Well done to everyone who took part and special congratulations to Fernbank who were reported to have one the gold by 100th of a second!
Animal magic and a sing along
Over at our residential home in East Sussex, Blatchington Manor, they’ve also been keeping busy. A visit from singer Kate Quick, had everyone who attended joining in.
Her performance was simply wonderful, and she showed genuine care for our residents. Kate had everyone singing and dancing, and even shared a touching duet with one of our residents, Hazel. It was an emotional moment for everyone present.
We eagerly look forward to her return.
And the magic was also brought to the lounge but this time of the animal variety.
The residents were thrilled by a visit from Pet Pals, who brought along two adorable 4-month-old pigs and some charming guinea pigs. Everyone enjoyed some lovely, calming moments with the animals. There were only a few squeals of excitement. We did remind the residents that they wouldn’t be able to keep the pets permanently.
