We are here with the first segment of what our human elf on a shelf has been up to so far! While our elf loves to have fun and spread holiday cheer, she also wants to make sure we stay safe and sound. So, she’s taken it upon herself to be our very own safety elf!

She has helped out with infection control, as well as checked on all the fire extinguishers in the home to ensure they are up to code, a festive and fun-filled way to make sure that our home is prepared for whatever winter may throw our way!

Here at Bunkers Hill, we are revolutionising the holiday fun with our very own mischievous Elf on the Shelf, who is here to bring some extra cheer and laughter to your festive season. We’re here to embrace the silliness and share the adventures of our Elf and the shenanigans that she gets up to this holiday season.

Let our Human Elf on the Shelf remind you to find joy in the little things and spread laughter wherever you go. So, get ready for some hilarious surprises and let the Human Elf on the Shelf bring a smile to your face every day – let the fun begin!

After years of bringing joy to the people of Bunkers Hill Care Home, his time to retire has come. His hard work and friendliness has been greatly appreciated from day one, with Mick being with us since the home opened!

Farewell and Thank You Mick, may your days be filled with happiness and well-deserved relaxation!

Every year this week in November sees communities around the country, and the world, join together in the simple act of remembrance. The red poppy has become the symbol of remembering and will be worn by millions of people across the country this week. It reflects on lives lost but also looks forward with hope to a more peaceful future.

Remembrance events have been taking place this week at Bunkers Hill, and we hope you can find time to take a moment to join in and honour the fallen in your own community.

We had a lovely evening on Saturday celebrating Bonfire Night at Bunkers Hill. There were lots of fireworks on display and they were accompanied by a delicious BBQ. Both staff and residents had a very enjoyable evening full of laughs and smiles.

From everyone here at Bunkers Hill, we wish you all a happy halloween. We hope tonight you are mindful of those that may experience some difficulties over this period, whilst many people would like to enter into the spirit of halloween and enjoy trick or treating this evening, for some people this can be unsettling. Many of them will not be used to unscheduled visits to their door and so Halloween celebrations have, in the past, been a cause of concern.

Although they understand and appreciate the fun of Halloween they prefer not to be called upon by trick or treaters. We would ask that when you enjoy your Halloween fun, you respect any home that has a poster on the front door saying no to trick or treaters.

Have a great evening!

Staff members took part in a fire training session at the home recently, they were taught how to properly use a fire extinguisher, as well as the proper protocol when in an emergency.

This was very useful for our staff, in order to prepare in case something were to go wrong in the home, as well as being as prepared as we could possibly be for any and all eventuality.

A very valuable lesson for all involved!

We will be hosting two very exciting events in the not so distant future here at Bunkers Hill. First up, we have our halloween fancy dress day, taking place on the 31st October. There will be an afternoon tea buffet, as well as a competition in which the best dressed individual will get a prize!

We will also be having Fireworks & BBQ evening, this will take place on November 3rd, starting at 4:30 for the BBQ, with the fireworks beginning shortly after that.

Two very exciting events that everyone is looking forward to at the home!

Here at Bunkers Hill, we were delighted recently when we received these incredible fresh vegetables brought in by one of our very own nurses! The Kitchen staff got straight to work preparing them – ready for our residents to enjoy at some point this week.

They will be contributing to some lovely meals that our fantastic kitchen staff are sure to cook up!

Today, on World Mental Health Day, we stand together to break the stigma surrounding mental health. At Bunkers Hill, we believe that mental health is just as important as physical health, especially for our residents.

Join us in spreading awareness and understanding. Remember, it’s okay not to be okay, and seeking help is a sign of strength. Together, we can create a world where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued.
