Astor Court and Lodge Care Home on Lamb Street in Cramlington were delighted to get a very special parcel from the pupils of Whyting Middle School and some fabulous letters and drawings which we took around to the residents so that they could see you'd been thinking of us during this time.

Thank you so much, it really brightened up our day.

Garden Hill Care Home on St Michael's Avenue was delighted to have Kevin come and sing for us in the car park. We all pulled up a chair in the conservatory and watched as Kevin sang our favourites to us.

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.

We have been spending a lot of April working on decorating our garden, making the most of the lovely sunshine. 

Residents have made some lovely wind chimes which we coloured and painted birds on to hang in the garden.

This week we did the hanging baskets for the back garden and the front entrance which we decorated with ribbons. 

Many kind thoughts and good wishes sent to staff and residents from our local community – thank you for your lovely cards and pictures from all at The Belvedere.

Residents and staff at Bowerfield House  have been  busy gardening, potting and watering plants as the weather has been lovely this April. A big thank you  to one of our residents family members who  donated some bedding plants as their garden centre had to close. Along with some beautiful Orchids. We have also continued to do creative arts, colour and paint.

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.

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
