Cestria House
Residents loved the show put on by staff and performers for Easter. Everyone had a sing along and dance to their favourite songs and got to compete in an egg rolling competition. The winner was Jane Hughes, who won a bottle of red wine, well done! An exciting day enjoyed by staff and residents.
For the celebration of the King’s coronation, Cestria House took a trip to the local church, St George’s, in Jesmond. The pleasant weather and activities were enjoyed by both the residents and the staff. The home also held a coronation party later in the weekend where they hosted a dance class for the residents to get their dancing shoes on.
They also got an opportunity to attend a Knit and Knatter group at the St Hilda’s church in Jesmond. Everyone got to enjoy a heart warming selection of tea and biscuits, loving the opportunity to socialise with other people in the area and get some fresh air in the spring sunshine.
