We have has a very busy week here in our West Sussex home. We have had a clients meeting, this is where the clients get to share their thoughts and feeling on Drumconner Care Homes, and it’s also a chance for us all to catch up and share new ideas about the activities we plan.

We have a gardening club for anyone that wishes to plant anything in our gardens or in a pot for their rooms. This week we shared new ideas on what we wanted to grow. Here in Drumconner Lancing we will be holding sun flower contest on who can grow the tallest between the staff and the clients. We did this last year and it was great fun for all as the bragging rights began to increase as the sunflowers grew.

By the end of the contest the staff weren’t too happy as Lauren, our activities coordinator, had created some of the best sunflowers with our residents and topped the charts.

This week we all got together to make jewellery. A few made necklaces and bracelets for themselves but some made gifts for family and friends, it was lovely to see family and friends reactions to the gifts, it has been a very joyful and happy week for all. Many have said it feels so nice to have something they can keep forever as a reminder of the person that made it.
