Festive Fun at Rotherwood Care Home in 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.

Summer Fair Update

A Day at the Fun FairOver 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.

St James Church entertain residents with monthly service

On the first Wednesday of every month Rotherwood Care Home are visited by the vicar from our local church. Residents here have been brushing up on their singing skills so that they can join in and sing along during the service.

Each month the vicar tries to bring along a different musical instrument for the residents to hear, this month he introduced to us the ukulele and the kazoo. We started off by singing a few favourites including The Jungle Book- I wanna be like you and Johnny Cash- You are my sunshine. Towards the end of the service we all joined in with the Lord’s Prayer and then finished with a beautiful song from the 1890’s called ‘Keep on the sunny side’.

The positive impact this has on the residents can be felt throughout the home for days. We would like to say a huge thankyou to St James Church for making this possible.

We look forward to next month’s visit where we will be visited by the church choir.
