buffet Archives | Rotherwood Care Home, Rotherham

The residents and staff at Rotherwood have had some great fun in the build up to Christmas.

We have enjoyed Christmas Arts & Crafts throughout the month where we have enjoyed making Christmas cards for our loved ones. We have also enjoyed using Lego this month, this has helped some of our residents with focusing and stimulation.

Rotherwood’s Choir have been practising throughout the month for an afternoon Christmas performance, which all residents and staff thoroughly enjoyed taking part in!

On the 1st of December we enjoyed a visit from Father Christmas at Rotherwood. We had hot chocolates, coffees and all residents enjoyed a little present from Father Christmas before he arrives on the 25th of December.

We enjoyed our Christmas Party on the 19th December. We enjoyed mocktails, mince pies, a beautiful buffet and a live singer where we danced the afternoon away. Everyone at Rotherwood really enjoyed celebrating the festive season, and thanked singer Nikki for visiting and making the afternoon so enjoyable.

Here at Rotherwood Care Home in Rotherham our residents had the most wonderful VE day preparations and celebrations last week.

Andrea and our lovely staff trimmed the home beautifully with all sorts of decorations, including ones made by the residents.

On the day, our staff came in fancy dress and the morning was spent watching old war movies.

Later on we had all sorts of activities and games, including a game of World War II themed skittles, which everyone enjoyed and which got quite competitive!

War-time songs were being played, which residents were singing to along to with our staff and the activities coordinator.

Our thoroughly enjoyable VE Day celebrations were finished off with a lovely buffet tea, along with red, white and blue cupcakes.
