📚 Friday Snippet – Greenlane Moments 🌊🚂

Today’s Daily Sparkle session brought plenty of giggles and golden memories 💛. We read articles featuring the one and only Jimmy Clitheroe 🎭—his unmistakable voice had a few residents chuckling and reminiscing about his cheeky charm 😄.

🧼 Our chat took a sudsy turn as we explored cleaning products from days gone by. Bicarbonate of soda got a special mention—residents shared how it was once a household staple, and I explained how it’s making a comeback as a natural alternative 🌿. We laughed at how everything seems to come full circle—fashion included! 👖✨

🚂 Then it was off to the seaside in our minds, with steam trains puffing along the tracks. Residents recalled the smell of coal, the rhythmic chugging, and hopping on the train from Carlisle to Silloth 🛤️. One lovely story came from a resident who grew up in Wales and spent many happy days at the beach 🏖️—sandwiches packed, toes in the sand, and the sea breeze in their hair 🥪🌬️.

A day of laughter, nostalgia, and shared stories—just the way we like it 💬❤️.

🦎 International Lizards Day – 14th August 2025 🦎

It’s that time of year again when we ask the really important questions...
🦎 Lizards: Love them or LOATHE them? 🦎

Our residents love a creepy crawly chat – and this International Lizards Day we’re opening the debate...

Should lizards be celebrated as scaly little superstars…
🦎🪩 “Look at that tail! What a marvel of evolution!”..or should they be firmly sent to Room 101 with the spiders, soggy toast and slow Wi-Fi?

We want to hear from you! Do you have a pet lizard (or something equally exotic)? Share your photos, fun names, and tales of reptilian mischief – we’ll be showing them to our residents and having a good old chinwag about whether they’re creepy or cute!

📸 Bonus points if your lizard has a bow tie.

🕊️ Holy Communion Thursday at Greenlane 🕊️

Today, Greenlane Care Home was filled with peace, prayer, and gentle joy as we welcomed back the lovely Vicar Mallcom and his wife Barbara 💒. Their presence brought comfort and familiarity, and it was a pleasure to see them both again 💐.

Barbara and Mallcom kindly led a special Holy Communion service for our residents 🙏. The room was filled with the soft sounds of beautiful hymns 🎶, creating a calm and sacred essence that gently wrapped around everyone present 🌸.

We shared heartfelt words of prayer 🤲, listened to a short reading from the Bible 📖, and reflected quietly together. Some residents received blessings ✨, while others took Holy Communion with reverence and grace 🍞🍷.

It was a time of peace, calm, and togetherness—where faith, memory, and community came together in a truly meaningful way 💛.

☀️ Wednesday Wonders at Greenlane ☀️

What a scorcher! 🔥 Today was all about sunshine, smiles, and stories 🌞. The weather was very hot hot hot—so naturally, we made the most of it!

🌳 We sat outside, soaking up the rays and enjoying a good old natter ☕🗣️. Laughter floated through the garden as residents shared memories and jokes under the shade.

🎨 For those who preferred the cool indoors, we gave painting a go—but truth be told, the heat had us all feeling a bit melty! 🖌️🥵

💬 Our 1:1 sessions were full of heart and heritage. We explored Irish musical instruments 🎻🪕, listened to lively Ceilidh tunes 🎶, and reminisced about the charm of Cork 🇮🇪.

🏖️ The seaside came up too—memories of Weston-super-Mare as children, building sandcastles 🏰, splashing in the sea 🌊, and the pure joy of summer play.

🕰️ We also reflected on wartime childhoods—hiding under tables during air raids 😔, feeling frightened but always wrapped in the safety of parental love ❤️. Those moments, though tough, were filled with resilience and warmth.

It was a day of sunshine outside and sunshine within ☀️💛.

Back at Greenlane, the fun continued with some heated rounds of dominoes 🎲, card games like Snap and Matching 🃏, and plenty of good old-fashioned nattering in the sun ☕🗣️. These simple moments—shared laughter, thoughtful chats, and playful competition—are what make our days so special.

Here’s to more sunshine, more smiles, and more shared memories. 💛

React To Red: Pressure Ulcer Prevention Week

🗓️ 11th August – 17th August 2025

This Pressure Ulcer Prevention Week, PH Care Group is proud to support the React To Red campaign – a national initiative focused on raising awareness about the importance of early intervention in the prevention of pressure ulcers.

Throughout the week, we will be sharing guidance, tips and best practice on how to identify early signs of skin damage and how minor redness can escalate if left untreated. Pressure ulcers are largely preventable, and by working together we can make a significant difference to the health, comfort and dignity of our residents.

We warmly invite our residents, families, care workers and wider care teams to get involved in learning how to React To Red. Together, we can prevent avoidable harm and ensure the highest standards of person-centred care.

Let’s work together to protect skin, promote movement, and prevent pressure ulcers before they start.

Book Lovers Day

Today, we are celebrating the joy of books at every age!

Books have a unique ability to transport us to other worlds, spark our imagination, and offer comfort and companionship. But they also hold deep personal meaning—bringing back cherished memories of childhood stories, treasured characters, and the voices of loved ones who once read to us.

For many of our residents, books are not just a pastime but a powerful link to the past, evoking fond memories of their favourite authors, the smell of a well-loved book, or the joy of reading to their own children and grandchildren.

At PH Care Group, we encourage reading as a meaningful activity that nurtures wellbeing, stimulates the mind, and opens the door to reflection and connection.

Happy Book Lovers Day to all the readers, storytellers, and book enthusiasts among us!

🐾 International Cat Day – 9th August 2025 🐾

Today, we’re celebrating the joy, comfort and companionship that our feline friends bring—especially to our residents.

Cats have a remarkable way of lifting spirits, offering affection without words, and creating moments of calm and connection. Whether it’s a regular visit from a therapy cat or the stories our residents share of beloved pets from years gone by, cats continue to make a meaningful difference in our homes.

At PH Care Group, we recognise the therapeutic benefits that animals can provide, particularly in supporting emotional wellbeing and reducing loneliness. Today, we honour our cats past and present—and the special role they play in enriching the lives of our residents.

Happy International Cat Day! 🐱💛

🌬️ Today at Greenlane, it was a little blustery—but that didn’t stop us from getting outside to blow the cobwebs away! 🧹💨

🌱 We very much enjoyed a wander through the allotments, admiring the marvellous vegetables 🥕🍅, beautiful flowers 🌸🌼, and of course, giving a nod to our feathered friends—the hens 🐔💛.

🚜 Our chats turned to farming and how much it has changed over the past 100 years. It was a rich conversation full of memories and
reflections. 🕰️👩‍🌾

👣 We were also delighted to welcome our lovely chiropodist, who made sure everyone's feet were well looked after 👟🧼. A little pampering goes a long way in keeping everyone comfy and smiling! 😊💖

🎨 Then we shifted gears to some colouring with an Edinburgh twist—after all, it’s the Edinburgh Fringe! 🎭🏴

📸 Lots of conversation flowed about the images we worked with—Edinburgh Castle 🏰, Highland cows 🐮, and beautifully shaded thistles 🌿💜.

Another engaging afternoon filled with nature, nostalgia, and creativity! 💬🖍️

🐾 National Cat Day Comes Early at Greenlane! 🐾

Today we celebrated National Cat Day a little ahead of time—and it was paws-itively lovely! 🐱🧁

🧁 Residents and families enjoyed beautifully decorated cat-themed cakes and shared plenty of sweet moments together. The lounge was filled with smiles and chatter as everyone indulged in treats and togetherness. 😋💞

📖 We also hosted a fun cat-themed quiz, and our top score was a fantastic 10 out of 12! 🏆👏

🐈 The excitement peaked when our lovely Nicola brought in her two cats, Willow and Miko. 😻 Though a little camera-shy, they added a splash of real-life feline charm—even if they did cheekily hide behind the chairs! 🪑😅 However it was a tad overwhelming for them, we enjoyed their brief visit 😍

It was a heart warming afternoon filled with cake, quizzes, and furry visitors—bringing joy to residents and families alike. 💛🐾

🐱 💕 🍰 🌟 😻 🐾 🧠 💫 🎉 🐾
