Happy New Year everybody !

We had a lovely time over the Christmas period at Valerie Manor.  It was all due to Zoe and her lovely Staff who pulled all the stops out to make sure it was a very special time for everybody. Not forgetting a very special visit from Santa on Christmas Day!

There are lots of reports of various visits and celebrations on separate pages so please do have a look. I also wanted to say a special thank you to the family of one of our residents who came in and gave us a wonderful carol concert on Christmas Eve.

Regarding the Activity side of things the Physical options available were...Giant Snakes and Ladders, Musical Santa Hats, Target Toss, Table Tennis and Exercise from the your chair.

Mind Benders included Triads, Planning a Christmas Menu and a Coronation Street Quiz to mark the anniversary of the soap that was first televised in December 1960.

The Mama Mia DVD gave us a bit of sunshine and The Snowman made us feel very Christmassy as did the classic White Christmas with Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye.

Here’s to a very Happy, Healthy and Peaceful New Year for everyone.
