James Hirons November Newsletter
Lets have a look at some of the things our residents have been up to in October!
A VERY SPECIAL VISIT FROM THE LOLLIPOP PONIES!
What a magical afternoon we had at James Hirons Care Home when the lovely Lollipop Ponies came to visit! Our residents absolutely loved every minute of their visit. For some of our residents, it was their very first time meeting a pony, while for others it brought back wonderful memories of childhood, with lots of stories and happy memories being shared.
And the ponies really did go the extra mile! They even travelled up in the lift to visit some of our residents who weren’t able to come downstairs and meet them. It was so lovely to see the smiles on everyone’s faces as they had the chance to meet and spend time with these beautiful little visitors.
There were plenty of cuddles, strokes, smiles and reminiscing. A truly heart-warming experience for everyone. A huge thank you to Lollipop Ponies for bringing so much joy to our residents. We hope you enjoyed your visit as much as we did.
Visit to Mary Magdelene church in Leamington
Our residents always enjoy a trip to Mary Magdelene Church in Leamington and it was great to see old friends and new at their welcoming coffee morning on Saturday 10th October.
We are very lucky to be part of the lovely local community.
Harvest Festival
HARVEST FESTIVAL CELEBRATIONS AT JAMES HIRONS!
Autumn has arrived at James Hirons Care Home, and we’re getting into the harvest festival spirit!
On Wednesday 14th we celebrated our very own Harvest Festival, and our residents had been getting creative by hand-making their own pumpkins to add to our beautiful autumn display.
Each pumpkin has been made with care, and a little bit of autumn magic, making our display extra special.
Harvest Festival is a wonderful time to reflect on the changing seasons, celebrate the fruits of autumn and enjoy coming together as a community.
We’re so proud of our residents and their fantastic creations — we think they’ve done an amazing job!
Here’s to a lovely celebration filled with autumn colours, creativity and plenty of smiles!
Residents, family, staff and friends of James Hirons gave generously to the Harvest Festival donation appeal.
A lovely service was hosted by William Smith, our local vicar, and we were delighted to be able to provide the food bank with a plentiful supply of items to help the local community.
Theatre Trip
A NIGHT OF GREAT MUSIC AND GOOD COMPANY! Our residents had a fantastic time visiting our local Spa Centre venue to see Gilbert O’Sullivan on his latest tour!
Gilbert treated everyone to a wonderful evening, singing all his well-known favourites alongside some songs from his brand-new album. There was plenty of toe-tapping, smiles and laughter as our residents sat back, enjoyed a glass of wine and let their hair down to some fantastic live music!
It’s so important to us at James Hirons Care Home that our residents continue to enjoy life, make memories and experience all the things that bring them happiness. And what better way to do that than with great music, good company and a little singalong!
Donations to Food Bank
Our residents were thrilled to be able to donate our Harvest Festival spoils to our local food bank.
The team at Warwick District Food Bank do a wonderful job supporting the local community.
Trip to see Barry White Tribute Act
LET THE MUSIC PLAY! A FABULOUS EVENING WITH THE LEGEND OF BARRY WHITE!
Our residents and staff from James Hirons Care Home enjoyed a fantastic evening of live entertainment at the Royal Spa Centre in Leamington Spa!
We were treated to Let The Music Play: The Legend of Barry White, starring the wonderful William Hicks, bringing the unforgettable sounds and soulful classics of Barry White to life!
With the amazing live band Soul Unlimited and the fabulous Supreme Dreamgirls providing those incredible backing vocals, it really was a spectacular night of music, rhythm and soul!
There were smiles all around as we enjoyed the atmosphere, tapped our feet to the music and made some wonderful memories together. A huge thank you to William Hicks, the Supreme Dreamgirls and Soul Unlimited for such an entertaining evening. What a brilliant show!
At James Hirons, we love getting out and about, enjoying new experiences and making every moment count. Here’s to many more fabulous evenings together!
Business as Usual
The next stage of our refurbishment is well underway with the Large lounge receiving special treatment.
This hasn’t stopped the Activities team who have been busy running exercise classes, giving hand massages, holding discussion groups and lots, lots more.
We are very grateful to our wonderful staff team who are always on hand to give our residents the best experience possible.
