Jingle Bells?

Saturday's activity revealed resident's hidden talents when Campanology began........

Marie, Eileen, Dawn, Mary, Peggy, Sheila and Di began bell ringing they played Mary had a little lamb & Jingle Bells amongst other tunes.

There was a natural sense of rhythm and Marie in particular produced some great notes.

It was a fun activity and will hopefully happen again very soon.

remembering Win

the beautiful flowers from Win's funeral yesterday  were delivered to mount Ephraim afterwards, and some of the residents helped to arrange them into vases for display around the home; a lovely tribute to a much loved lady who will be sadly missed.

LOCAL CARE HOME SCORES HIGHLY IN NATIONAL SURVEY OF RESIDENTS

MOUNT EPHRAIM HOUSE, has just taken part in the country’s largest and most authoritative survey of care home residents. The results from the survey have been made public today, performing strongly.

 

The nationwide survey, called Your Care Rating, is designed to give residents a voice, putting

their care at the heart of understanding more about how well care homes perform

 

KAREN COOPER at MOUNT EPHRAIM HOUSE said: “We’re delighted with our results from the 2013 Your Care Rating survey as it demonstrates how fulfilled our residents are.

The survey was compiled by leading research company Ipsos MORI with input from the care home operators taking part, plus the National Care Forum (NCF) and the English Community Care Association (ECCA).

Thursday

Crafty Tuesday .....

Jenny and Roy came armed with goodies today for residents to craft in time for the Easter celebrations .... From painting polystyrene eggs to knitted chicks, there was something for everyone to try

Meanwhile Eileen took a trip to PC world to sort out a new laptop .....

Later, the volunteers from Twgs came along to play scrabble with Marie and Mary

In memory of Helen ...

Helen (aka Lady Helen!) recently passed away peacefully and her funeral was held today; a service of thanks for her life. She was a very happy person, always had a smile and enjoyed life to the full. The residents remembered her today with a tea party in the lounge; she will be sadly missed and our thoughts are with her family

Happy Birthday Joan

Wishing a very happy special birthday to our very dear volunteer, Joan. We had cakes with coffee in the library today during the weekly Monday Club ... The residents sang 'happy birthday' even though we couldn't find any candles for the cake !

Happy birthday Marion

                                                 Marion celebrated her birthday on Sunday!

Remembering Olive

We held a memorial tea for Olive on Friday after the funeral service. She used to love the quiz sessions at MEH in particular and so we arranged a general knowledge quiz, hosted by volunteer Christiana, in her honour, after the tea party. it was well attended by her fellow residents - she was such a clever and popular lady and would have been very chuffed!
