What a fun time was had at the Archer Home Mid-Winter dinner, where staff and residents together enjoyed a delicious meal, great conversations with lots of laughter and some wonderful prizes, which were awarded to some lucky residents. After recent difficult times it was nice to be able to relax together and enjoy each other’s company.

Some of our residents are currently sitting in the warm lounge, making chocolate Easter eggs and baskets to put them in (photo #1). Archer would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a safe and happy Easter.

Here are some further photos of the finished Easter goodies. Some clever residents were given prizes by Kathy for finding hidden bunnies.

Rest Home residents and staff made the most of ‘Covid Cup Day’.

Some of the residents enjoyed making and modelling some fancy hats and staff got into the spirit by dressing up and sporting flash hats.

Of course, this was all followed by a yummy afternoon tea.

We celebrated Daffodil Day in our usual way by having staff dress up and parade for our residents.

Unfortunately, due to Covid restrictions we weren’t able to get as many daffodils as we usually do but we still had a lovely display.

Residents and staff shared stories followed by a yellow afternoon tea.
