September 2025

Russettings recently enjoyed a wonderful visit from Wings of Freedom, where Colin introduced residents to three of his beautiful birds—a Kite, Falcon, and Barn Owl. Each bird had its own charming personality, and residents even received room visits for a closer look. Our chefs also prepared a delicious “Indian Summer” lunch, inviting families to join in the day’s celebrations. The fun continued with “Rosie Sings Summer,” bringing familiar melodies and a lively sing-along to the afternoon. We also welcomed the children from Buttercup Barn Nursery, who taught residents some basic sign language before sharing tea and biscuits together. Be sure to read our Newsletter to find out more!
