Our residents are managing amazingly well and keeping busy at Windmill Court during these difficult times, but we are all missing friends and family.  

We are sending these keyrings to them to let them know we are well and thinking of them.

Lovely surprise today at Cavendish Court with a smashing gift from our local Waitrose – magazines, orchids and hand wash. Thank you so much for your kind thoughts from all at Cavendish Court. 

We have just received these beautiful flowers as a thankyou to all staff. Thank you  to MA for your kind thoughts  form all at Troutbeck.

Thank you to Sara and her team at Able World who have donated 20 face shields to Clarendon Court which they purchased at their own expense.

A massive thank you from the staff and management and we look forward to seeing you all soon. 

We all know that hand washing is key at this unprecedented time and Claire our Home Manager made up a little ditty to help us wash our hands.

Sing along to the tune of Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive":

First we were afraid, we were petrified

Kept thinking that this virus would just grind us down

But then we spent so many hours fighting for everybody's lives

That we grew strong and we learned how to carry on

Go on now go, walk out the door

Just keep on going cos we don't want you anymore

We will survive.

We will survive

Thank you so much to Drakes Fish and Chips for your generous and thoughtful gift to the home.  We really appreciated it and everyone felt so cherished.

Belmont House Care Home on High Street in Starbeck were delighted to be approached by the Stray Ferret to feature in their article about clap for hero’s on a Thursday evening at 8pm. As always we were outside at 8pm clapping for our colleagues, NHS workers and key workers. 

Belmont House on High Street, Starbeck wanted to design a banner for the home. The activities team designed the banner and with help from the residents in Promenade Suite this was painted. We have concentrated on the colour blue to support the NHS. 

The banner is in pride of place at the front of the home and we have received many compliments for cheering the Community and creating a focal point. We hope you see it next time you drive down High Street and think of us.

We wanted to say thank you to our amazing team at Buckingham House who come to work every day with a smile on their face.

We have given our reception area a rainbow makeover so our amazing team have a hero's welcome each time they arrive for work. Thank you to you all, you are all fantastic.
