Come along and join us at Rotherwood Care Home, Rotherham, from 10:00am to 11:30am, to enjoy the hot drinks, delicious homemade cakes and biscuits we have for sale. Where we will be raising money for MacMillan Cancer Support as part of their annual 'Worlds Biggest Coffee Morning'.
It will be a chance for people in our community to come together in aid of a worthy cause- one very close to our hearts.
If you enjoy baking and would like to donate a cake, please bring it along. If you don't like baking but enjoy eating cake and would like to donate a few pounds/pence, please come along too.
Please also tell your friends.
Everyone is welcome.
Over the weekend here at Rotherwood we held our annual summer fair. During the day we had a variety of different stalls including one full of handmade gifts made by our lovely residents, a tombola, a raffle bric-a-brac and many more. We also had a food stand with hot dogs and burgers, a refreshments stand with drinks and cakes and a few games stands with games including hook a duck and tin can alley.
The day was of great success and was enjoyed by all. At the end of the day we counted up our donations and managed to raise a total of £150. We will be arranging a service user meeting within the next couple of weeks were we will come together to discuss how the money should be spent.
We would like to thank all who attended for their kind donations and support, both before and during the event.
On Saturday 16th July Rotherwood Care Home will be opening its doors to the local community for our annual summer fair. This years theme will be 'a day at the Fun Fair'.
Doors will be open from 1:30pm and there will be a variety of things happening, including; the vintage tea party, various stalls, Hook a Duck, Hot Dog stand, angel readings and much more.
Raffle tickets are on sale now and can be purchased from the homes office. We are also collecting raffle prizes and donations which can also be handed in to the homes office.
We look forward to seeing everyone and hope that the good weather continues for us.
During the day at Rotherwood our activities coordinator fits in as many one to one sessions with our service users as possible alongside our weekly set activities. In these one to one sessions many of our residents like to talk about their life experiences and the things they have learned throughout the years.
This week during our one to one sessions we have been taking note of ‘A Few Wise Words’ our residents have had to share. We have had a mixture of responses from some very wise ones to some really funny ones. Below is a small list of some of the things they have had to say:-
- Don’t take yourself too seriously
- Enjoy yourself and have a good time
- Don’t get married
- Pay your bills first
- Don’t worry about being in a care home, its lovely being looked after
These will be displayed in the home for all our residents, their families and visitors to enjoy.
