Pinewood Residential Home
Last month Pinewood Nursing and Residential Home held a Dignity Awareness Day. The residents enjoyed tea and cake whilst listening to our two guest speakers, Ann Gilbert who is a Specialist Parkinson’s Nurse and Helen O’Malley who is a Speech and Language Therapist. The talks were centred around dignity and eating. Our residents found the talks extremely interesting
Pinewood Nursing and Residential Home resident Marjorie Scaddan enjoyed a special lunch with her husband Robert to celebrate their 59th wedding anniversary.
Our staff made sure that it really was a special day for them, they had a lovely lunch followed by a cake made by our new chef Michael.
In celebration of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, Pinewood will be hosting its very own Tea Party. Hawkridge Bird Of Prey Centre will be visiting us once again this year for the event and a whole variety of other activities will also be taking place at the Home. This year we have live music from Simon Watton and Sam Pester, a number of competitions, face painting, ice cream, bring and buy and a raffle. All proceeds from the day will be going to Age Concern Budleigh Salterton. Raffle prizes will be gratefully received or collected.
There will be no on site parking on the day but a Shuttle Bus service will be running to and from the Public Hall.
At 2 p.m. on Saturday 16th May, we are having a Spring Fête. Sharandy’s Birds Of Prey will be coming over to feature as one of the main attractions, along with a BBQ combined with a cake stall, cream tea with scones and jam, a bring and buy sale and let’s not to forget the obligatory raffle!
All proceeds raised during the day will go towards the Budleigh Salterton Lions Club who distribute the money to various charities within the local area. Please speak with Ruth if there’s anything you might have to donate.

For the fourth year running, Pinewood will be lighting up Budleigh Salterton’s night sky with a colourful array of fireworks. All proceeds collected will go to the Budleigh Salterton Lions Club who distribute to worthwhile causes in the local area.
A BBQ will provide hot dogs and other delicious warm food/drink to residents and visitors alike (weather permitting).
There will be no parking at the Home on the night between 4 pm to 8 pm. However, a free minibus service will be available at regular intervals from outside the Public Hall.
There was a fantastic buzz going on at Pinewood on Saturday 4th June. People of all ages were there to take part in the care home’s annual charity fete that was being held as part of the Budleigh Salterton Lions Club Gala Week. Of the various stalls, competitions and activities taking place, not to mention the much anticipated visit from Hawkridge Birds Of Prey, the art competition and face painting proved a real hit amongst the children. People were out in the sunshine enjoying some delicious cream teas, as well as the lovely homemade cakes and cheese straws that were on offer at the cake stall. There were also some great bargains to be had at the bring and buy and some fabulous prizes to be won at the raffle. With £362.22 raised for Age Concern Budleigh Salterton, the management at Pinewood are extremely thankful to everyone in the local community who helped make the day so special. This includes all those who volunteered their help on the day, made donations for the event and of course the visitors themselves.
The firework display that took place at Pinewood on Saturday 6th November will be a difficult one for us to beat next year. There was a fantastic turnout and in the short space of just under an hour, £160 was raised for the Budleigh Salterton Lions Club – a charity that distributes money to various causes within the local area.
The display itself looked absolutely stunning and the delicious food being served at the BBQ provided the perfect warm meal or hot drink for the spectators on a November’s evening.
A special note of thanks should go to all the Pinewood staff and Lions who volunteered their time in order to help make this event so enjoyable and worthwhile.

A combination of the fond memories from last year’s event, the fantastic turnout that appeared in spite of the weather, and a grand determination to raise even more money for charity, has culminated in our repeating the Pinewood Fireworks Night this year. All proceeds collected during the night will go to the Budleigh Salterton Lions Club who distribute their money to various worthwhile causes within the local area.
Once again, we can all look forward to a fantastic display of lights in the night sky. Weather pending, a BBQ will also be on hand to provide a delicious warm meal to residents and visitors alike.
There will be no parking at the Home on the night between 4 pm to 8 pm but a minibus service from outside the public hall will be available.
