Wedding

Sharon one of our shift leaders recently got married - and we would all like to offer our congratulations and wish her and her husband Don all the very best for their future.

Sharon and Don enjoyed a honeymoon in Egypt.

All the Service Users attended her reception and thoroughly really enjoyed themselves - as you can see from this picture.

NVQ's

Both Charlotte and Phil have now completed and obtained  their NVQ level 2 award in Health & Social care qualification, this is a fantastic achievement for them personally as well as professionally and we would like to other our congratulations to them both.

Well done.

Recycling

After much planning and preparation we have now introduced a recycling scheme for glass, paper, tins & jars.

The local council were really helpfully in explaining to staff and Service Users the best way to recycle and provided us with individual boxes to help.

After just 2 days most of the boxes are nearly full and the first trip to the recycling centre is being planned.

Ian Horse riding

Ian attends horse riding once a week in Bradford on Avon , which he loves.

Not only is this a great form of exercise but it also helps to increasing coordination and balance, part of the session is that Ian identifies objects and then finds the same object within the arena on horse back.

Car museum

On saturday Kurt and John went to the Yeovil car museum, they had a fantastic time and really enjoyed looking at all the old cars.

John has a keen interest in old cars and has a vast collection of models within his room.

Garden update

The end of week 3 has again seen dramatic changes to the landscaping of the gardens not only have the pathways now been developed but the vegetable plots have also been established.

All the Service Users have again really enjoyed watching the progress over this week and are really looking forward to the coming weeks developments.

Promoting Independance

All the Service Users have now got personal medication cabinets in their own bedrooms as this will help to increase their privacy, dignity and independance.

Here is Grazina introducing the new system.
