At Riseley House, life in a care home is about much more than care — it’s about connection, community, and creating joyful experiences every day.
This week, the first signs of spring brought a welcome change of pace. Residents enjoyed a sunny stroll to Sainsbury’s, taking in the beautiful daffodils in full bloom. It was a simple moment, but one that lifted spirits and reminded us all of the season’s warmth and renewal.
Back at the home, laughter echoed through the lounge as residents, including Margaret and Violet, played a careful game of Jenga — a wonderful way to stay engaged, practice coordination, and enjoy each other’s company.
We also had a very special guest — Sadi the puppy. Her visit brought instant joy, with cuddles and wagging tails putting a smile on every face. Interactions with animals like Sadi are always a highlight, offering comfort and emotional connection in a way few other things can.
Later in the week, our residents visited a local café at West Park. Over tea and coffee, stories were shared — one resident fondly mentioned giving up sugar since the war, a moving reflection on resilience and personal history.
To round off the week, we enjoyed a classic Laurel & Hardy film screening — always a favourite — followed by a fun and festive game of bingo. Congratulations to Violet for her big win!
Every week at Riseley House is built around life in a care home that’s full of meaning, warmth, and moments that matter. Whether it’s a walk outdoors, a shared joke, or a four-legged visitor, it all adds up to a life well lived — surrounded by care and companionship.
