Thank you BBC Radio Leeds for having Home Manager, Sadie Suthern, live on the radio this morning to talk about World Kindness Day! Sadie talked about how we are encouraging the community to write to residents to help combat feelings of isolation and loneliness during this difficult time. Residents would love it if they could form some friendships and 'pen-pals' with the community. If you would like to write to us, please send your cards/letters/drawings etc.. to Activities, 1-3 Lowther Rd, Garforth, Leeds LS25 1EP If you would like to hear back from us, leave your address in the card/letter and we will write back! To listen to what Sadie had to say, please tune in to 07:34 (https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/live:bbc_radio_leeds) #WorldKindnessDay #SpringfieldFamily

It always feels nice to have a little pamper session and that is exactly what we are doing! Everyone has been enjoying the opportunity to get their nails done at Springfield Carehome this week!

We understand how difficult it is to not be able to visit your loved ones so as we enter into the second national lockdown, we would like to remind you of one of our initiatives that we have in place to ensure that you can remain in contact with your loved ones. We have a wellbeing phone on each community for you to send photos and messages to your relatives. We will print these out and share with your loved ones. If you have not already got the mobile number for this, or if you have any other questions, please email activities@springfieldcarevillages.com

We had lots of halloween fun over the weekend with lots of treats and activities at Springfield Carehome 🎃 👻 Everyone enjoyed our Halloween quiz and the goodie bags went down a treat!

SPRINGFIELD WORE IT PINK! Springfield Carehome staff wore pink aprons on 23rd October to acknowledge Breast Cancer Awareness Day.. to read more click here

Springfield are wearing it PINK

Today, 23rd October acknowledges Breast Cancer Awareness Day and Springfield Healthcare are acknowledging this important day in various ways, but everyone has come together to wear pink aprons in support of Breast Cancer Awareness day. The powerful message that we are sharing and the donations that have been made all make a huge difference in the fight against breast cancer.

Our activities and wellbeing teams have been very busy organising various meaningful group and individual activities to ensure that residents are engaged and having fun! This week, we have been playing lots of games at Springfield Carehome!

We were delighted to hear from Incredible Edible earlier this month who told us about their new community art in Garforth. Incredible Edible aims to create kind, confident and connected communities. By using food as a leveller and through the power of volunteers, the group has spent the past year planting free food for the community across Garforth including tomatoes, strawberries and courgettes. Look out for the new mural on the Emsleys estate agents wall on Main Street. We hope it will be the first of many and that our community will foster a little curiosity as to what grows around them and how they can benefit from it. To find out more check out Incredible Edible Garforth https://www.incredibleedible.org.uk/ and get in touch with them.
