Bunkers Hill Care Home
There’s nothing like a warming bowl of soup at this time of year, and so our kitchen team here at Bunkers Hill have been whipping up a few flavours for our residents to enjoy. Last nights was a lovely Carro and Coriander soup, full of warming spices and complete with croutons and a swirl of cream – looks lovely. They didn’t forget those who have a sweet tooth either – so they made some yummy jam tarts.
Tasty treats all round!
We couldn’t let Shrove Tuesday pass without our kitchen angels whipping up some lovely pancakes for our residents – and super yummy they were too! Light as a feather and with a choice of toppings to delight resident, it was a hard choice to make.
Favourite seemed to be filled with ice cream and fruit and covered in Raspberry sauce – what’s not to like!
We know the importance of fall prevention at Bunkers Hill – it is something we spend a lot of time on. Recently we have teamed up with Imp Healthcare, to bring information and exercise for the staff and residents in the home. They have been stressing the importance of keeping moving to reduce the incidence and likelihood of falls.
An important session full of useful information and also great fun.
Our residents at Bunkers Hill recently welcomed the children from Carlton Day Nursery to spend some time with them. They played games involving balloons as well as partaking in some music and movement together.
There are many benefits for our residents to gain from this interaction, it made them active and was good for social interactivity and keeping the mind active as well as assisting in the boosting of their mental health.
Both our residents and the children thoroughly enjoyed their time together!
Here at Bunkers Hill we pride ourselves on the food produced by our kitchen team. Not only do we serve a nutritious and balanced diet through the week, but everything is always very tasty, and we allow room for some treats.
We try and make everything in house, as much as possible, using fresh ingredients. This week we have had some homemade pasta, a homemade Chicken and ham pie, and our own sausage and apple platt.
Yesterday we celebrated an amazing milestone in the life of our lovely resident Ethel – it was her 100th Birthday! She had a lovely party at the home with her family. She received lots of cards including one from King Charles and Camilla. Flowers,, presents and a beautiful Birthday Cake made it a lovely day all round.
Here’s to 101!
Here at Bunkers Hill we would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone – residents, families, staff and friends a very Happy New Year. Let’s hope that 2023 brings us peace, happiness and prosperity.
Thank you for all your support in 2022 and we hope you enjoy your celebrations.
