Our stories

We recently enjoyed an outdoor concert courtesy of Wiltshire Rural Music. They are a charity who bring live music to communities within Wiltshire and they kindly offered to perform in the garden.

The people who live at Princess Lodge are busier than ever. Arts and crafts remain a favourite past time, so there was plenty of smiles for National Smile Day and as soon as the sun was out we took our painting into the garden.

On 16th June 2021 Coplands Nursing Home celebrated their Summer fete party with residents, residents families and members of staff. A meeting, lunch with refreshments and entertainment was organised. Staff wore their traditional dress and summer dress.

The gradual ‘opening up’ of society after lockdown has seen the long-awaited return of indoor visits, more visitors, trips out and greater contact between family members and friends across our care homes, as we all learn to live alongside Covid.

A  312,000 refurbishment project at Monread Lodge Care Home in Knebworth has been completed, with interior designed spaces, luxury furnishings, sumptuous fabrics, and warm colours creating an elegant inviting environment.

We’re delighted to announce that Maria Mallaband Care Group has been shortlisted as finalists in this year’s Care Home Awards.

The categories we’re finalist in are:

In support of the Alzheimer's society dementia cupcake day, today we had a lovely coffee morning with delicious cupcakes some of which were donated by a student from Poynton high school who during lockdown turned her passion for baking into a small business.

We have been given some new CDs by a friend of Troutbeck Care Home and will enjoy listening to these later today. With eight CDs to choose from there should be something for everyone to enjoy. 

A Friday afternoon was well spent decorating and sampling cupcakes. The chef very kindly, at short notice, whipped up a batch of scrummy cupcakes for our residents to decorate using fondant, icing, vanilla butter cream and chocolate icing as well as a variety of sprinkles.

Residents at The Hawthorns have had lots of fun in the sun this week. We had refreshing drinks created by our ladies and individual paddling pools set up for everyone to cool down whilst relaxing. 

Eileen worked hard all weekend colouring and prepping the European flags for Euro 2021, ready for them to be displayed. The residents think they look great and they are a good talking point with everyone.

We couldn't believe the transformation of Our Albert the Veg Man. We are really grateful to our Administrator Kirsty's mum for the work she's put in to transform him.

It's Hot Hot Hot - the arrival of hot weather at Hope Green brought some lovely surprises of ice lolly deliveries and iced lemonade. Always conscious of keeping hydrated, we were enjoying some refreshing treats together whilst chatting about our favourite types of summer holidays.

Bowerfield House had a lovely morning designing our wall art of a football pitch with all the countries flags placed around the football pitch, it's displayed lovely in our lounge.

Who doesn’t love ice cream & ice lollies eh? after all, it’s one of the world’s favourite desserts! With the Summer in full bloom, we at Knights Court raided the freezer and got out some delicious ice lollies and choc ice creams as a treat for our residents.
