One of our resident's granddaughter's was turning 40 this month and her partner really wanted her grandma to wish her Happy Birthday. We decided with the help of her partner and our resident rather than just call we would face time her as a lovely surprise and what a surprise it was, it really made Amy's day.

We received this beautiful knitted heart from Karen and her brother as a thank you to all staff members looking after the residents here at Furze Hill Lodge Care Home, particularly their mum Angela.

You told us to keep smiling Karen and we are  – knowing that there is so much love, appreciation and support from family members really motivates us all as we continue to care for all of our wonderful residents.

A lovely card received from Upper Batley High School 

We had a surprise visit from the lovely people from the Ummah Welfare Trust a fabulous charity. They kindly donated additional  PPE supplies to the staff at Batley Hall. This is fantastic initiative from this charity and we would like to thank Adam and his team for supporting the care home sector and for the masks and gloves.

Heeley Bank witnessed a lovely family leaving this message on the entrance to our car park.

They have thanked us for all our care during this difficult time.

A wonderful message that all our staff will be able to enjoy reading on their way into work or on their way home.

The Buckingham House team want to show their support for all the essential workers and the NHS.

Our local community has responded with so much love and support to us all during these uncertain times and we want to thank you all from everyone at River View.

We are so grateful to Manoj Mistry for picking up the morning newspapers for us whilst our usual delivery service is suspended. It might seem such a small thing to do, but for our staff who would otherwise be called away from the home to go and collect them, it means they can continue to provide care and support for all our residents during such a busy time.

The Belvedere Care Home spent the day getting ready for the Easter weekend by decorating some beautiful home made cupcakes using buttercream and pretty rice paper flowers out in the garden. 

Staff and residents had a great time making the most of the outside space during the wonderful weather, and of course taste testing a couple of cakes, too!

Lots of lovely home made fancy buns all ready for our tea party this afternoon at The Belvedere Care Home. Everyone is looking forward to enjoying one with a cuppa. 

The staff and residents at Gateford Hill Care Home would like to thank TESCO, Worksop, for their generosity.  For them to take the time and effort, at this difficult time, to deliver the donation to the door. All gratefully appreciated - thank you so much again.
