Where you'll work

The new cinema room has been a huge hit with our residents, who as well as watching the old classics, are very fond of more modern films like Mama Mia.

When this is on verses of Abba songs can be heard through Birchwood Court. There is also a popcorn machine with old fashioned cardboard cartons. Our residents are presented with cinema tickets showing the day's movie.

They hand these in as they enter, as they would have done at their local cinema before moving into residential care.

Again it is a lovely way to go back to the good old days, especially for our residents living with dementia.

The new games room at Birchwood Court is a real social hub, with games machines, a pool table, jukebox, board and card games and even giant skittles.
