Hello and welcome to what we all hope to be a glorious

summer here at Overslade house. We have yet, another

busy few weeks / months coming up and I am sure you

would enjoy the singing and fun activities that we have

planned.

And of course we have our activities boards to keep an eye

of what is happening in & out of the home.

We strive to provide a home environment that enables our

residents to enjoy a happy and fulfilling life, surrounded

by compassionate, caring staff who take a genuine interest

in the daily lives of our residents.

Like any extended family, the involvement and

participation of everyone is crucial to our objectives and

part of this process is receiving suggestions, comments-

good or bad and feedback on how we are doing or what we

should be doing. The management team has an open door

policy at all times so drop by my office use my email

address, whenever you have a thought or two.

Hello and Welcome!

News in and around Overslade

African Drumming Mary comes in on a regular basis and

brings different activities to our residents. This month she brought in her African

drums for everyone to participate it. The residents loved singing along to the

songs and playing the drums.

Dementia Awareness

Back in May Overslade celebrated

Dementia Awareness week by supporting the Alzheimer’s

Campaign. We looked at past photos of our residents in their

younger years as well as learning about their fascinating lives.

Scone Baking

Continuing we have our weekly baking sessi0on. Here you can see Dorothy and Betty baking some scones. The scones where then given out to our residents to

enjoy with some jam and cream.

Trips Out at Overslade

We try and have a trip out every week at Overslade. This time we went to Blooms to look around the garden centre and finish off

with lunch in the coffee shop and a bit of retail shopping.

It was our resident’s choice to visit the Denbigh Arms for a couple

drinks and some lunch together for the afternoon.

Everyone enjoyed being out in the sun with each other.
