On 30th June 2021 Coplands celebrated “Health Care Assistant Appreciation Day”. We had a small party arranged for carers on their special day. To thank them, for their hard work. Which they truly deserve!

On that day, our Operations Director and Regional Director had given a speech to our carers to thank them!

Carers are only part of the running of a care home but they really are such valuable staff. Without them, our care homes would not work.

There’s nothing like tea and cake to bring people together. Knights Court proudly hosted Cupcake Day on Wednesday 23rd June 2021 for Alzheimer’s Society raising vital funds totalling £150 in the process to support people affected by dementia.

The weather was absolutely beautiful and the turnout exceptional. We had a delicious selection of cupcakes, cake & scrumptious chocolate chip muffins and tea and coffee to wash down all those delectable treats! 

We at Knights Court Care Home realise the importance for our residents to make visits out of the home and appreciate that it is an important part of care home life. We were so happy for our Knights Court residents to be accompanied by their relatives to the park, for outdoor socially distancing lunch, cream tea afternoons, feeding the cows at the Hare Krishna Temple or just basking in the sun in their loved ones back gardens. 

On the news, we always hear a lot of praise for doctors, nurse, teachers, and care staff but we here at Appletree feel that we don't hear enough praises for the domestic staff, cleaners, activities, and our maintenance staff. 

Today we are shouting our thanks to these unsung heroes. 

On the occasion of Father’s Day we gathered the fathers at Coplands for a get together before lunch, they had opportunity to speak with each other and we offered them some snacks and chilled juices. They enjoyed the party with music. Everyone had a great day celebrating their fathers.

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 residents and the resident’s family enjoyed the event.

Congratulations to Alexandra Mora who has recently completed the Care Practitioner programme.

Alexandra is looking forward to continuing her career at Kents Hill and gain further clinical skills. To celebrate her achievement, she was presented with this lovely hamper from our Head Office training and development team.

Well done Alexandra from all of the staff and residents at Kents Hill

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. Did you know eating lollies & ice cream has health benefits? 

While many who live with us remain modest when it comes to their hidden talents, several of our residents here are a dab hand with a paintbrush! This week, we experimented with string painting as a means to create something quite abstract and colourful and the outcome was spectacular!

Everyone at Wyndham Hall enjoyed celebrating the Queen's 95th birthday in style with a fun filled afternoon including pass the parcel, royal themed quizzes and lots of laughs and smiles.

This was followed by BBQ food and washed down with some strawberry champagne, so that we could all toast her Majesty and wish her many happy returns on such a special day
