Dignity Action Day on 1st February 2015 is a national event that aims to provide a truly memorable day for people receiving care and ensures they are treated as individuals and are given choice, control and a sense of purpose in daily life. 

At Stallingborough Lodge Liz Walmsley, Dignity Champion, organised a full day of activities based around a seaside theme. 

The dining room was decorated with fishing nets and seaside props; fish and chips was served for lunch and there was a host of activities throughout the day including a brilliant accordion player, seaside fun photography, candyfloss and popcorn. One of our carers even made a seaside themed cake. A great day was had by residents, their families and staff.

March 2015 saw the introduction of the Quality Care Awards by North East Lincolnshire CCG and one of the categories was the Care Home Resident Achievement Award. We are delighted that this award was won by Rivelin resident Caroline Williams.

Caroline, who has lived at Rivelin for 3 years, was given the award for her achievements in maintaining independence; from doing her own shopping for clothes and toiletries to getting her nails done; trying out new hobbies such as the jewellery making workshops and she has even applied to be volunteer. We couldn’t be prouder, well done Caroline!

We never miss an opportunity to have a party at our homes and celebrate key events, especially those which hold good memories for our residents. So for the 70th anniversary of VE day in May we made sure it was marked as a very special occasion.

We are very lucky to have many great events taking place in Cleethorpes over the summer and one of the highlights is the Armed Forces weekend in June. 

For two of our Stallingborough Lodge residents, Richard Oglesby and Stella Speachly, this is an outing which they look forward to and greatly enjoyed this year. 

Richard spent 14 years in the RAF and Stella worked in munitions during the war and this weekend was a chance to take part in a fantastic community event celebrating all the armed forces.
