Residents here at Mary Chapman Court, enjoyed a wonderful afternoon of colouring and chatting. Our residents really enjoy this as a way to pass the time with lots of colours and pictures to choose from and a good cup of tea whilst having a chat with our close friends!

The Putney and Wimbledon Brass Band came to us here at Ashmead. The Band joined us on a chilly Saturday afternoon, playing Xmas carols, much to the delight of our residents, every one looked out of their windows and enjoyed an afternoon full of music and fun.

Mr and Mrs Martin have been married for 70 years they received a card from the queen and enjoyed afternoon tea together, Mr Martin said the secret to a happy marriage is to let the wife do all the talking and we do our best to make each other happy, since the lock down Mr Martin has been drawing pictures of his wife from memory through the decades he said she has not changed a bit since the day we meet.

Bridlington Priory were asking residents to join them this year in lighting up your windows with the words, hope, light and love. Therefore, we decided to join them and get creative.

We displayed them in the summerhouse with fairy lights around our artwork. Our home has been put on the map so people in the local community can walk around and see the artwork. 

We had a wonderful visit from Iceland in December delivering 6 bags full of mince pies for staff and residents.  They were delicious and we enjoyed them with cream too.

Thank you Iceland.

We were overjoyed when the Community team at Tesco in Catterick arrived at the home with 39 bags with three gifts in each parcel plus, crackers and poinsettias to bring Christmas joy from the team at Catterick Garrison Tesco.    The community team raised over £300 for the Residents of Rosedale.  Thank you so much for thinking of us again.

We received a wonderful email on Christmas Eve from three wonderful young ladies, Lacey, Eva and Sienna. We thought you'd enjoy their  email.

Hello and happy Christmas Eve to all at Rosedale

Lacey, Eva and Sienna brought the £200 they have raised to you on Christmas Eve for your staff and residents to spend as you wish.

We received some lovely cards for our residents from Sedgefield Primary School in December.  They had spent time drawing and colouring in pictures to send to our residents which they loved.  

Thank you so much we loved reading your cards.

 

 Sainsburys at Sedgefield Manager Nicola and her colleague Sophie called to Willowdene care home to donate a box of Christmas goodies for the staff and residents.  The residents at the home were over the moon.

We received some wonderful cards from St Joseph's Primary school. Each one had a lovely message in from the wonderful school children. There was a card for each resident.

Thank you so much for thinking of us all
