We just had to share these lovely photos taken by our resident Tony at Broadway Manor! 📸🍂

He took them while making his way around the centre square and the main building, capturing some gorgeous views of the scheme along the way

If you’ve taken any photos around your PFH community that you’re proud of, pop them in the comments, we’d love to see them! 😊

Around 1 in 3 adults over 65 and half of people over 80 will have at least one fall a year.

At PFH we are aware that anyone can have a fall, either at home or when they’re out and about. But statistically, older people are more vulnerable and likely to fall, especially if they have a long-term health condition. Falls can take a serious toll on people’s quality of life. Fortunately, with the right precautions and lifestyle changes, our ageing population can avoid falls and continue to live an active, healthy life.

If you are worried about falls, please contact us on 01482 223783.

Please check out our Falls Prevention Brochure for some top tips on how to prevent falls.https://www.pfh.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/PFH_FallPreventionBrochure_Aug23_v4-1.pdf

Exciting times… brand new PFH homes are coming to Hemswell Avenue!

The site, also known as Isaac Newton Park, will become our latest development, creating more homes for older people in Hull.

Our Chief Executive Claire and Board Chair John recently headed out to the site to meet the team from Hammond Homes, who we’ll be working with to bring the new development to life.

It’s really exciting to see things moving forward and we can’t wait to eventually welcome residents into their new homes! 🥰

A week ago today we were out and about for The Big Check In! 🏡

It was so lovely getting to knock on your doors, have a proper catch-up and hear how you’re getting on in your homes and communities.

Thank you again to everyone who welcomed us in, stopped for a chat or shared something with our team. We loved getting to spend some time with you! 🥰

This week, we’re proud to recognise International Week of Deaf People.

Deafness can often be invisible, but simple actions can make a big difference. Here are a few ways we can all help:

👉 Face the person when speaking so they can lip-read more easily

👉 Be patient and happy to repeat or write things down if needed

👉 Use gestures or simple signs where possible

👉 Make sure spaces are welcoming and inclusive



Hull Deaf Centre have some great events and information https://www.hulldeafcentre.com/

Meet Sylvie 👋

She has called Broadway Village home for an incredible 31 years and was one of the original residents when the homes were first built! 🏡

We had a lovely catch-up with Sylvie during The Big Check In, and she told us how much she loves PFH and that her home at Broadway Village has been her dream home 🥰

31 years of memories in a home she still loves! It was so lovely hearing all about it and getting to spend some time chatting with her.

Thanks for the chat, Sylvie! 💜

Day 2 of dog selfies… oops, sorry, we mean Day 2 of The Big Check In! 😅🐶

Another brilliant day out across our communities, catching up with residents, hearing how you’re getting on and gathering all of your useful feedback

Our Big Check In is all about making time to get out and speak to residents face-to-face, and we’ve really enjoyed the conversations we’ve had over the last two days.

Thank you to everyone who’s opened their door and had a chat with us!

What a wonderful day we’ve had for our Big Check In! 🥰

We’ve loved getting out and about today, knocking on your doors, having a good natter and finding out how you’re all getting on (and your furry friends as you can see by the selfies from our Home Services Director, Richard 😅🐶)

Thank you to everyone who welcomed us in, stopped for a chat or gave us a wave while we were out and about. We hope you enjoyed chatting as much as we did! 💜

If we didn't manage to get out to you today, we will see you tomorrow!
