🍽️ Diners Club at The Hawthorns 🍽️

This week, our Diners Club enjoyed a wonderful meal at Vita Bella Restaurant in East Hanningfield.

Outings like these are a wonderful opportunity to enjoy new experiences, strengthen friendships, and make lasting memories together.

At The Hawthorns, we believe retirement living is about enjoying life to the fullest and making the most of every day.

The Hawthorns Eastbourne Well-being Event was a blast! 🤎

Earlier this week, Eastbourne welcomed an array of well-being and health professionals from the local community to the home, providing residents with a great opportunity to chat with them and learn more about the support they offer.

In addition to neighbouring care home Alice Court Care Home - Avery Collection, they had visitors covering a range of different needs, from the likes of Sussex Footcare, Eastbourne Blind Society, Age Concern and Lushington Chropractic.

Events like these promote connection, spark interesting conversations and support our residents to live well, stay active, and feel truly connected to their local community.

On Friday, our homes took part in the nationwide Macmillan coffee morning ☕️💚

Our residents have been enjoying some wonderful coffee mornings recently, filled with plenty of delicious treats, hot drinks, and brilliant company! These events were all held to raise vital funds for Macmillan Cancer Support, who provide physical, financial, and emotional support to those living with cancer.

Cancer has touched many of us throughout our lives, and is a cause particularly close to the hearts of our team and residents. We’re thrilled to support such an incredible charity, especially when it gives us a great reason to come together over coffee and cake!

Earlier this month, The Hawthorns Clevedon held a coffee morning to support Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) in memory of Matthew Notely ☕️

In just 2 hours, the home managed to raise £222.74 with the help of residents, team members and visitors! Every cup of coffee, every donation and every helping hand made a difference and helped honour Matthew’s memory in such a wonderful way.

Since 1995, CRY has worked tirelessly to reduce young sudden cardiac death through awareness, screening, research, and support for every family who contact us.

We are so proud of the support and awareness the Hawthorns Clevedon has generated for such a special cause, thank you to everyone who came along 💙

The Hawthorns Braintree recently turned into a casino for the first time! 🎰

Residents enjoyed getting dressed up and experiencing the glamour of the very first casino evening for our home in Braintree!

The night was made extra special by being hosted by one of Braintree's very own residents Francis. Throughout his life, Francis worked at a casino which meant he could bring his expertise to make the night feel more authentic! To further add to the realism, Francis invited some of his former colleagues to run the tables 🃏

The night was filled with high spirits, laughter and a touch of friendly competition! ♥️

At the Hawthorns, nutrition is taken care for you by our incredible kitchen teams 🍐

As part of this, our chefs regularly prepare fresh desserts, and what's fresher than hand picked fruit?

Earlier this week, the chefs at The Hawthorns Braintree went pear picking from the trees in their very own garden, bringing fresh flavours straight from the garden to the table. These homegrown pears were then turned into a delicious homemade dessert, which went down a treat with our residents!

We are so proud to have nutrition as one of our priorities at the Hawthorns, with personalised meal plans catered to the nutrition needed for older generations to thrive!

It's quiz time! 🕰️

The Hawthorns Eastbourne residents have been engaging in some memory games to get their minds whirring. From quizzes to brain teasers and everything in between, the group had lots of fun testing themselves and sharing quality time with one another.

Beyond the fun, memory games are a brilliant way to boost short-term memory, sharpen focus, and support cognitive health, all while bringing everyone together with plenty of laughs and great conversation!

We've had lots to celebrate this month! 🥳

The Hawthorns Clevedon wished a very happy 100th birthday to resident Jean, surrounded by friends, family and plenty of cake. With an upcoming weekend planned full of birthday activities especially for Jean, we are sure this will be a brilliant birthday week to remember!

The Hawthorns Braintree residents Geoff and Nicki celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary. The pair met at dancing school in their early twenties, and have been inseparable ever since - they even share the same birthday!

Part of life at the Hawthorns means meeting and celebrating the many residents whose stories we are honoured to get to know and share every day. Here's to making many more wonderful memories together!

Residents enjoyed seeing the creativity and incredible talent from those taking part in the festival, along with indulging in the amazing food stalls!

Some of our residents have been enjoying a spot of karaoke! 🎤

From The Carpenters to Lonnie Donegan, Vera Lynn and lots more, the residents had an incredible time singing along to some of their favourites, and they sounded amazing whilst doing it!

At the Hawthorns, we always put resident well-being first by providing activities and events which cater to their interests. A karaoke session is just one example!

The Hawthorns Northampton had a fantastic time hosting their Art & Photography Exhibition! 👨🏻‍🎨 📸

Residents, family and friends gathered to marvel at some truly fantastic artwork and photography displayed by local artists, as well as some of our very own talented residents. Between browsing the vibrant local stalls and enjoying tea and cake in the bistro, it was a fantastic afternoon all around.

Thank you very much to our artists for sharing such incredible pieces with us, and to all who came to explore them!
