Our residents at Batley Hall Care Home in Batley, West Yorkshire had a lovely surprise this week when they received some letters through the post  from the students at Redbourne Upper School and Community College.

We all thoroughly enjoyed reading them and send a massive thank you to the school for taking the time to write to us. Love from residents and staff at Batley Hall.

Here at Earsdon Grange Care Home in Whitley Bay we have been overwhelmed by the support and generosity of our local taxi firm and Greggs. 

It would also be very remiss of us not to mention our local taxi firm, East Coast Taxi’s in Whitley Bay.  They have come to our aid and offered to help staff get to and from work to keep them safe in these uncertain times and have offered a staggering 50% discount to all of our colleagues at the Home.  Your generosity will not be forgotten, thank you.

A huge thank you to our local KFC who so generously refused to accept payment from our Home Manager Anjaleena at Deepdene Care Home last week when she placed a large food order for staff members to thank them for their hard work.

It means so much to our staff to know that the local community is supporting them during this uncertain period as they continue to care for all of our residents.

Birthday celebrations were in full swing to celebrate the special day of our lovely resident Angela. 

Staff and residents joined together for a special birthday afternoon tea with cake, presents and lots of singing which was enjoyed by everyone. 

Local residents Frieda and Jerome Jones have really put a big smile on the faces of everyone in the home today with their fantastic selection of artwork received by post this morning.

5 year old Frieda and her big brother Jerome aged 8 have written a letter to our residents and sent these lovely pictures which we are displaying in the home for everyone to enjoy.

Thank you Frieda and Jerome from everyone at River View.

Easter celebrations are underway at Bowerfield Court and lots of arts and craft sessions are planned. The residents made sock bunnies this week. 

This is a very difficult time for everyone, and we'd like to thank all of our residents and families for their support during this time, and an extra-special thank you to all of our staff across the board who have continued to work tirelessly to serve the needs of our residents.

Here at Rose Lodge Care Home on Carer's Way, Cobblers Lane, Newton Aycliffe we have always prided ourselves on being part of the local community and we were delighted to support our NHS for the 8pm clap for the NHS on Thursday 26th March at 8pm.  

Our residents asked if we could have a sign outside the home so that the NHS workers knew how much they meant to us and how much we appreciated all they are doing for the community and our loved ones and a sign was created.  

During these uncertain times the community spirit in Sedgefield is certainly alive and well and at it’s best.  Residents of Willowdene Care Home on Lizards Lane, Sedgefield were delighted to receive a very special package from the children of Sedgefield Primary School. The gorgeous pictures and letters sent from the school really cheered up our residents when they received their letter in the morning post.
