Careviews Got Talent

Quarter July—September 2019

One of the biggest events in our calendar to date was our Talent Show event that took place

at MJ’s based in Wednesbury.

We had four pre planned performances by Helen, Paul, John and Aaron. Helen sang I Just

Can’t Get you out of my head! Paul sang Jerusalem John sang and Aaron wrote his very own

rap. The exceptional amount of talent on display surprised us all. The quality of Aarons lyrics in

his rap were of a very high standard and demonstrated his creativity when it came to music..

We had some impromptu performances by Jim our co-host, the Gill brothers as they are fondly

called and Shaun Utting. Jim rendered a couple of tracks, Ravi and Gurdip demonstrated their

bhangra moves and Shaun his singing voice. More pictures are on the back page. Turn to

page 5 for more pictures from the afternoon.

th Sep-

tember 2019. The team raised money for a really good cause and supported family members of our service users in raising awareness for Dementia

Alzheimer’s.

We wish Laura a speedy recovery for injuries sus-tained during the walk. Next year she will be walk-ing for “say no to converse” when partaking in charity

walks .

Our managers walked the walk to support the service users we care for and their families. The managers set up their own Just

Maureen turned 74 years young and

celebrated her day by going out for

coffee with her friends.

The evening consisted of a small birth-

day bash with her fellow housemates ,

where cake, dinner and dance took

place.

Age is Just a Number

This year Shaun chose to go

to Southport for his summer

holiday.

He was accompanied by two

care staff Gurpal and Lor-

nika.

His trip consisted of sun, sea

and sand. Shaun enjoyed

exploring Southport and

treated himself to lots of ice

cream and gifts. Shaun espe-

cially enjoyed the night life

and took part in the club-

house quizzes and bingo.

This was Shaun first holiday

since he was a child and he

would love to make it an

annual trip

Mark loves to dance and any given moment you will see Mark making his moves. Post the talent show , where Mark witnessed the Gill brothers bust some moves on the floor, his interest in Bhangra arose. Mark is now a regular at the Bhangra classes where he meets up with the Gill broth-ers and all three having rollicking time together. They often go out for a curry after expending all their energies on the dancefloor.

Bhangra’s gonna get you!

Paul is one of our most outgoing resi-

dents at the care home.

He has been venturing out on the met-

ro to places like Wolverhampton, Bir-

mingham and Black Country Museum.

Paul really enjoyed his visit to the Muse-

um where he enjoyed his retro fish and

chips!

His last visit to Birmingham consisted of

a trip to the canals and a short boat trip

followed by a shopping spree in Bull-

ring.

Paul is a prolific shopper and there is

never a day where Paul doesn’t have a

shopping list in hand and out on his

spree.

Ahoy!

CAREVIEW’S

through observations, pointers and con-

versation to discuss emotional state.

The principles of Cognitive Behaviour

are embedded into our approach and

we utilise a series of services available in

the community. Aubreys Angels is one

of the services we access and the work

we do in conjunction with them is not

only CBT but we look wider to help

service users to manage their thought

patterns. We look to provide them with

the tools and skills to manage their anxi-

eties and ideations.

We work with agencies across the men-

tal health spectrum to create positive

experiences and thoughts especially

with service users who have suicidal

thoughts or made attempts.

This multi-disciplinary approach is to

ensure that we offer a holistic service

covering all aspects of an individual’s

care needs. Emotional regulation is a

key aspect and our care team learn skills

to help support service users. A variety

of tools are used to enable service users

to articulate their emotional state and

this occurs throughout the contact
