The residents at Ashfield Court on Tewit Well Road in Harrogate had a lovely surprise when the ice cream van popped by to see them.

The visit certainly made the lovely hot weather we are having feel like we were on holiday.  Thank you so much for visiting us.

We were delighted to receive lovely pots of plants from Rossett High School for the home and residents.

They were such a lovely surprise and we can't wait to have those growing in our courtyard.

Thank you to Rossett High School for your lovely gift.

VE Day may seem like a long time ago now but the residents at Garden Hill Care Home are still talking about it.  We are so lucky to have such a huge garden at the home so we had a singer come along to sing for us and we sat outside and in the conservatory to enjoy the celebrations.

We then had a gorgeous treat of high tea in the afternoon. The residents all have so many memories from that time which they were happy to share with all of the staff.

Buckingham House Care Home in Gerrards Cross has been overwhelmed by the kindness shown by local people during the COVID-19 crisis. During this time the home has been touched by the messages of support and gifts from local people  As a way of thanking the community and hopefully putting a smile on the face of anyone who finds them, the residents of the home have been painting rocks and including positive messages and they have been hidden around Gerrards Cross.

Here at Ashfield Court Care Home on Tewit Well Road in Harrogate we have been amazed by the kindness and generosity of our local community.

We received some gorgeous flowers from the Oatlands Community Group and a lovely card which was such a lovely gesture and meant the world to us. Thank you for sending those to us, the staff and residents loved them.

We love hearing stories from yesteryear at Willowdene Care Home on Lizards Lane, Sedgefield and VE Day proved to be an amazing day for that.  

Meet our fabulous resident Ivy who is 105 years old.  She was 30 years old and married to Tom who was a solider when the first VE Day was celebrated and she recalls they had a big party and singing and dancing in the streets.  The atmosphere was magical and everyone baked lovely cakes, pies and treats and shared everything with their neighbours.

Willowdene Care Home on Lizard Lane in Sedgefield was delighted to receive a special delivery from the students and staff at Trimdon Community College.  Our residents were delighted and thoroughly enjoyed the cake and biscuits with their afternoon cuppa.  

Thank you so much for thinking of us and you must come in to visit us when able.

We were delighted to receive such a lovely bunch of flowers from Pinpoint one of our agency’s with the attached note. Such a  lovely thought at this time and we wanted to say thank you to you for all of your help, support and staff when we have needed you.

Thank you.

We were delighted to receive these fabulous gift bags from Clarins during their week of celebrating the NHS and Care Homes. The staff were truly delighted to receive this from you and a huge thank you for thinking of us at Astor Court and Lodge on Lamb Street, Cramlington.

May has been another month of community generosity and Earsdon Grange received some gorgeous cakes and cookies from Bakes by KH based in Whitley Bay. We can certainly say they tasted delicious and went down well with a cup of tea. Thank you so much.

We also received some lovely gifts from J&B Recycling who came by to drop off a selection of goodies.  Such a wonderful surprise and we are very grateful you took the time to pop by with these.

Thank you to you all.
