🌟 Children in Need Day at Greenlane 🌟
Today at Greenlane, we embraced the spirit of Children in Need by spending the day in our cosy PJs 💤👕. The atmosphere was buzzing with excitement and laughter as residents and staff joined in a variety of fun activities 🎲✨.

We played lively games of bingo 🎉, tested our knowledge with a Pudsey quiz 🐻, and enjoyed the thrill of little scratch cards 🎟️.

It was a day full of joy, connection, and community spirit 💛. The smiles and laughter reminded us of the power of coming together for such a wonderful cause 🌈🤗.

And apologies — we should have taken more photos 📸, but we were enjoying bingo far too much! 😂

Diabetes Awareness Day – 14 November 2025

Today, we recognise Diabetes Awareness Day, a vital opportunity to increase understanding of a condition affecting millions across the UK. At PH Care Group, we remain committed to promoting health, wellbeing, and early awareness for all residents, families, and colleagues.

Diabetes can impact people in different ways, and early recognition of symptoms—such as increased thirst, tiredness, slow-healing wounds, or frequent infections—can make a significant difference to long-term health. Raising awareness helps ensure that individuals receive timely support, appropriate monitoring, and personalised care.

Our teams continue to work with healthcare professionals, families, and residents to encourage healthier lifestyles, balanced nutrition, and proactive management of health conditions. Together, we can support better understanding, reduce stigma, and promote early intervention.

Let us take today as a reminder of the importance of education, compassion, and continued conversation around diabetes and its impact on everyday life.

It’s heartwarming to see so many residents join in — whether clapping, swaying, or simply soaking up the atmosphere 🎵😊. James brings energy, connection, and a musical spark that lifts everyone’s spirits 🌟.

🕊️ Remembrance Day at Greenlane 🕊️

Today, we came together as a home to honour Remembrance Day — a moment of reflection, unity, and heartfelt remembrance 💜.

At 11:00am, we observed the traditional two minutes’ silence ⏳. The room was filled with peace, quietness, and deep thoughts as we remembered those who served and sacrificed 🌺. It was a powerful pause — still and solemn — as residents and staff alike paid their respects 🙏.

Afterwards, we gathered around our Remembrance Board 🖼️, lovingly created with messages, poppies, and memories. Residents shared stories and thoughts of loved ones — some who served, some who were lost, and many who are still held close in heart ❤️.

It was a gentle, emotional morning — full of connection, reflection, and gratitude 🌟.

🎲✨ All of the Dominos Today! ✨🎲

This morning started with a touch of glamour 💅 as our lovely Diane returned for her regular nail sessions. Gel nails were on the list today, and the peaceful atmosphere paired with gentle chatter made for a soothing start to the day 🌸🫖. Our residents always enjoy Diane’s visits — it’s a moment of calm, connection, and a little sparkle 💖.

As the morning rolled on, we gathered for some classic domino games 🎯. With the cooler autumn air 🍂 creeping in, it’s clear some of our residents are leaning into hibernation mode 🐻🧣 — but a few brave souls joined me for several rounds of domino fun! It’s always heartwarming to see how everyone helps each other out 🤝, sharing smiles and gentle encouragement throughout 💬😊.

Later, we dived into our Daily Sparkle session 🌟. Today’s trivia took a nostalgic turn as residents educated me on the legendary wrestler Big Daddy 💪🎬 — I learned a lot! We also reminisced about days out in the Lake District 🏞️ and the fizzy joy of old-school Corona drinks 🥤. The stories flowed, and so did the laughter 💬💛.

It’s truly special to witness the connections between residents — the kindness, the shared memories, and the gentle support they offer one another 🫶. Greenlane is full of heart, and today was no exception 💚.

🎨✨ Bonfire Crafts & Autumn Browsing at Greenlane ✨🎨

Today at Greenlane, we embraced the fiery spirit of the season with some creative bonfire crafts 🔥🧡. Residents explored texture and effects using a mix of materials — cardboard 📦, cotton wool ☁️, and straws to blow paint across the page 🎨💨. The results were vibrant, expressive, and full of spark!

As we crafted, the room buzzed with conversation 💬 — memories of bonfires past, favourite fireworks 🎆, and the joy of gathering around the glow. It was a beautiful blend of creativity and connection 💛.

Later in the afternoon, we shifted gears for some gentle one-on-one time 🫶. A spot of retail therapy was just the ticket! 🛍️ Resident enjoyed browsing online for cosy autumnal fashion 🍂 — skirts 👗, jumpers 🧶, and all things warm and wonderful. The excitement of choosing colours and styles brought smiles all around 😊.

A day of sparkle, stories, and seasonal style — just the way we like it at Greenlane 💖.

🚶‍♀️☀️ Walks, Worship & Wordsearch Wonders ☀️🚶‍♂️

Today at Greenlane, we finally managed to get out for a refreshing walk and soak up the sunshine 🌞. We blew the cobwebs away 💨 and admired the golden light dancing across the fields 🌼. As we strolled, conversations bloomed — tales of life on the farm 🚜, birds fattening up for winter 🐦, and the many breeds of sheep that sparked memories and smiles 🐑💬.

It was a joy to stretch our legs and feel the crisp autumn air on our faces 🍂. Spirits were high and laughter flowed freely 💛.

Later in the day, we welcomed a special visit from our Catholic deacon, Bill, and his lovely companion Valerie ⛪✨. Together, we shared in Holy Communion — lighting a candle 🕯️, offering prayers 🙏, and exchanging heartfelt words that brought peace and connection to all who joined ❤️.

To round off the day, we dived into a lively quiz session from the Daily Sparkle 🧠🎉. We took turns tackling the wordsearch (far too easy for our clever Greenlane crew! 😉), then racked our brains with a chemistry quiz — scoring an impressive 7 out of 8! 🧪👏 We wrapped things up with a fun sports and music round featuring none other than The Monkees 🎶⚽ — lots of toe-tapping and chuckles all around!

A day of sunshine, spirit, and sparkling minds — just the way we like it at Greenlane 💖.

🌟 Then came the real showstopper: “Guy Fawkes Night” — and wow, did we deliver! A phenomenal 107 words burst forth from our brilliant team, setting a new Greenlane record! 🎇🎉

🌟 Fabulous Morning at Greenlane! 🌟

What a truly special day we've had here at Greenlane 💛. We were delighted to welcome the amazing Tony Mason — local historian, storyteller extraordinaire, and all-around treasure 🧠📚. He didn’t come alone either… joining him was his charming companion, Mr Fox 🦊, who quickly became a resident favourite! There were whispers that Mr Fox might just belong here with us permanently 🏡😉.

Tony brought with him a wealth of knowledge and a suitcase full of memories 💼✨. Residents were enchanted by his scented memory boxes — filled with nostalgic aromas like old coal fires 🔥, the unmistakable scent of a steam train 🚂, and of course, those buttery biscuit notes that took us straight back to Carr’s 🍪💭.

We then turned the pages of a fascinating local history book all about Carlisle 📖🏙️. Residents were captivated by the stories, especially the bits about Dixon’s Chimney 🏭 — sparking memories, questions, and plenty of smiles.

To round off our morning, we welcomed the lovely Sister Gertrude for our weekly Catholic service ⛪🕊️. Her presence brought a sense of peace, reflection, and heartfelt connection to all who joined 🙏❤️.

A morning of stories, scents, smiles, and spiritual warmth — just the way we like it 💫.
