The Old Rectory Nursing Home

Last month, our residents enjoyed a wonderful day of remembrance and celebration as we marked VE Day together.

From singing wartime classics and waving Union Jack flags to sharing stories, laughter, and a traditional afternoon tea, the day was filled with joy and heartfelt memories. Many of our residents have personal connections to this historic day, and it was a true honour to hear their reflections.

A huge thank you to our amazing staff for organising such a meaningful event, and to our residents for sharing their incredible stories with us. ❤️

Thanks to the wonderful Debbie Mc, who came in to entertain our residents with her amazing performance! From classic hits to sing-along favorites, there were smiles all around, and even a few dance moves!

A big thank you to Debbie for bringing so much joy and energy to our home—we're already looking forward to your next visit! 💃🕺

With the first signs of summer peeking through, our residents have been soaking up the sunshine and enjoying some fresh air in the garden today. There’s nothing quite like a good chat, a cup of tea, and the warmth of the sun to lift everyone’s spirits! 🌞🪴

We had a truly heartwarming afternoon as the incredibly talented Ani came to sing for our residents. Her beautiful voice and joyful energy brought smiles, toe-tapping, and even a few happy tears. 💛

Moments like these mean so much to everyone here, and we're so grateful to Ani for sharing her time and talent with us 🤩

Our wonderful residents joined in our Age Active fitness session—a fun and energizing way to stay strong, boost circulation, and lift spirits. From gentle stretches to rhythmic seated exercises, everyone got involved and had a great time!

👩‍🦽 Movement improves mood, enhances flexibility, and helps maintain independence—no matter your mobility level. 💫

What a fantastic time we had with Play Your Cards Right! Our residents showed off their lucky streaks and had plenty of laughs guessing whether the next card would be higher or lower 📈📉

We’re sending lots of love and best wishes to our wonderful Care Assistant, Chelsea, as she begins her maternity leave! 🍼💕

Our residents had an absolute blast during our Target Practice Activity! Everyone got in on the fun, showing off their aim and cheering each other on ❤️

Activities like these help keep our minds sharp, our bodies moving, and our smiles bright. It's all about joy, connection, and a little friendly competition! 💪💕
