News & Events at Lincroft Meadow

Connecting with the community at Dementia Connect

Our Client Services Manager, Suzi, enjoyed a lovely outing to Dementia Connect in Witney this month.

The group, run by Shirley Crawley from Guideposts, is open to anyone living with dementia and their carers. It was a great opportunity to find out more about the support available locally, as well as to connect with new faces and share experiences.

Suzi had a wonderful time taking part in the session, which included plenty of laughter, a fun quiz, and, of course, some delicious biscuits!

A huge thank you to Shirley and everyone at Dementia Connect for such a warm and friendly welcome. It was a pleasure to join you, and we look forward to visiting again soon.

An afternoon in Greece at Lincroft Meadow

Everyone here at Lincroft Meadow Care Home would like to say a heartfelt thank you to our wonderful resident Peter’s daughter and son-in-law, Lynne and Nick, for organising a fantastic Greek-themed afternoon this month.

Lynne and Nick gave a fabulous talk entitled “A House in Greece,” all about their home on the island of Skopelos. They recounted a collection of interesting and funny tales about navigating another culture to purchase and then renovate the house. This was accompanied by a beautiful selection of photographs of the house and the island, which provided a lovely insight into life on Skopelos.

Our talented chefs then treated us to a delicious tasting menu of traditional homemade Greek dishes, including tzatziki, hummus, souvlaki, lamb koftas, pita and Greek salad, followed by rizogalo (rice pudding) and, of course, baklava. The food was amazing and evoked many happy memories of holidays in Greece and warm evenings spent in tavernas.

Thank you so much to everyone who was involved in making this such a special afternoon. Yamas!
