Welcome to our newsletter for April 2024.
We are delighted to announce we are yet again in the top 20 Care Homes in Scotland! A marvellous achievement, of which the residents and staff are very proud.
We constantly strive for excellence by researching, training and implementing ideas and by taking the lead from our fabulous residents.
This month we have visited Goulding’s Garden Centre “down the Clyde Valley” and our next trip has been arranged for The Transport Museum. The residents have participated in regular meetings where they have voiced their preferences for activities. Favourites include crafts, gardening club, choir, reminiscing, chair exercises, trips, coffee morning and animal visits. The Greenhouse project has commenced.
Upcoming events and activities are displayed in our notice boards, in each lounge and on our Facebook page. If you are associated with Crofthead and would like to be added to the fb page then please speak with the Activities Team.
The Activities Team are looking at Matinee shows at both Howden Park Centre and Lanark Memorial Hall. These theatres offer music, plays and art sessions. We also have regular entertainers to the home.
Generation Arts, the local schools and Brownies together with the local Faith Leaders are all regulars to our home. We have also been working closely with the Eastfield Centre and Fauldhouse Hub.
The Daffodil Tea, Ladies Night and Easter celebrations were enjoyed by all.
Our residents are in the process of creating a Wish Tree. Any paints or craft materials you may have left over from your own projects, would be very welcomed.
Look out for the tri-shaw carrying our residents around the village and out into the countryside. If you would like to volunteer for training to become a pilot, then ask in reception for details.
Here’s to a fabulous Spring leading into Summer!
