🤩🤩 Spectacular Summerset on Cavendish yesterday, meeting lots of beautiful new friends 💕
We rocked around the clock with a fun ‘Alive and Jive’
We began with some Elvis, Twist and Shout and the Hand Jive to help our brains with pattern and rhythm! Lovely participation from Cheryl, Not-sleepy-Jean, Colleen, Anne, Richard and Lester. And Run-around-Sue in the middle had lots of fun singing.
Mavis had a pet Beetle called Ringo and then along came Sir Paul McCartney who looked like he had a Hard Days Night! 🎸
Cheeky and chatty Jenny up the front was very giggly and loved the show throughout 😁
A fun drive in movie 🍿 🥤 with Saturday Night at the Movies and some of us started to have a fun boogie-including Mr Cheeky Man playing pool in the next room who had to see what all the laughter was about 😉
👑 Kevin was crowned King of Rock n Roll as we Hit the Road Jack and ended with Do Run Run.
So much fun and laughter from all of us including Judge Judy, Wonderful Wendy and Stunning Sandra.
We hope to come back soon, thank you Lovely Lauren!

🌸 A special Mothers Day with our friends at the Lakehouse, Burlington on Monday afternoon.
I Want my Mama! was the song/dance to begin with, then into some dusting, mopping and changing the baby! Lynne and David were left looking after the baby 👶
We shared a special Mothers Day poem to recognise all the special Mums. This was enjoyed by Doreen, Yvonne and Hillary. A lovely sing along to end with, You Are my Sunshine and Mumma Mia were popular ❤️
A hand massage to pamper the ladies with hand cream was relaxing.
Mavis and Myrtle then enjoyed a beautiful high tea ☕️ with residents and families. We also had a chance to meet new friends John, Rob and Glenda.
Thank you Arlene and warm staff x

A Marvellous Mother’s Day Monday at Radius St Allisa ❤️
We began with sharing photos of our own Mums and our children, and the importance of Mums in our lives.
Because we all want our Mum when we are upset, we started with fun song I Want my Mama. This followed with changing the baby, dusting and mopping and washing the shirts (because a girls work is never done).
Beautiful smiles from Kevin, also Evan-who was left holding the baby! After a fun Mexican wave, we danced to Sherry 🍷 and upbeat song Chocolate 🍫 which had a couple of the staff dancing 💃
A fun sing along of ABBA’s Mamma Mia to end with, and ‘abfab’ singing by Melissa, Dianne and Judy 🎤 plus down the back amazing Yvonne 😊
Cheeky and chatty Naida got the giggles and loved the show throughout 😊
All our lovely ladies enjoyed a hand moisturise massage as a special pamper 💕
Thank you Amanda and Linda, lots of fun!

The room looked beautifully decorated-well done staff ❤️ and Mavis & Myrtle brought the music, dance and fun.
Nancy and Barbara up the front enjoyed singing along to You Are my Sunshine, aswell as Warwick who had lots of hugs and love to share with his singing 😊
After we read a story on Mothers Chair, changed the baby and did the cleaning (a girls work is never done) we enjoyed the good things mums deserve like Chocolate and Sherry!
A beautiful poem about My Mothers Hands was shared and a special hand massage with hand cream for all the ladies 💕
This was most enjoyed by Julie, Lena, Anne, Eunice and Nerolie.

A Friday full of fondness yesterday at Holly Lea, as we took the time to remember those who served and fought for our freedom today.
Our session involved a look at what life may have been like in war times, how they passed the time when not in battle, letters to loved ones and the representation of some items used in war.
Thank you to Maurice Ridler for the use of his army attire and gear ❤️
Great participation by many, with songs such as It’s a Long way to Tipperary, Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and We’ll Meet Again. Lovely smiles at the back from Ola, plus those at/near the front Judith, Robbie, Jude, Anne, Beverley, Jenny and Tony.
National Anthems of both NZ and Australia were sung well, as we finished with poems, the Last Post and a minute silence.
Kia Ora Willie for always giving us a beautiful thank you at the end ❤️
Thank you Delys and Joyce for having us share such a special theme.
We will remember them.

‘Alive and Jive’ was a fun and energetic theme, with familiar fun songs such as Do You Love Me and Lets Twist Again.
Singing superstar Adele sang along with every classic. We had to keep our eyes 👀 on cheeky Mike at the front, who enjoyed all of our music and dancing.
King John wore the crown 👑 as we sang God Save the Queen before Saturday night at the Movies 🍿 Marg was his lovely helper, along with beautiful smiles from Janice, Joan, Glenda and Sharon.
After a fun run -through of the Hand Jive (which was great for our brains to remember the pattern 🤓) we Hit The Road Jack 🧳

A magical fun Friday with our dear friends at The Lakehouse, Burlington 😊
Today we brought some gorgeous little people along for some Easter fun-and our elderly friends thought this was wonderful 🐣
An egg and spoon race, the chicken dance, Easter bonnet parade and parachute -to bounce the bunny was so much fun!
Darling Doreen and Glorious Gloria were the super singers today, knowing every word to ‘Easter Parade’ by Rosemary Clooney 👒 with many residents trying on Easter bonnets for a photo 📷 and big smiles from Dennis, Daphne, Lynne, Yvonne, David and Jocelyn 😁
Beautiful Hilda just loved all the music today and was awake for most of the session yay ❤️
We ended with a fun Easter egg hunt which was like a bear hunt but for eggs!🥚
Thank you Maria, we had lots of fun x

A memorable Friday was celebrated at the Lakehouse for St Patrick's Day 🍀
Jocelyn was overjoyed to see us when we arrived which is truly heartwarming ❤️
Our darling friends with Dementia just love their music-both Hillary and Doreen knew every song and loved The Gypsy Rover and Molly Malone.
Bells and tambourines were a hit among many -especially Lynne who put bells on her little toy dog to the music 😊
Dennis had wonderful memories to share today, aswell as Gloria with lots to chat about.
Giggles from all as a cheeky wee leprechaun popped up with wishes to grant!
Martin enjoyed a bit of a dance, along with Daphne and Rocky 💃
By the end of the show all of our Irish eyes were smiling and we enjoyed a sandwich and cuppa ☕️
Thank you Maria and team x
