Troutbeck Care Home is constructing a specially designed visitor pod to enable safe and comfortable visits for both residents and families. This will be an addition to our existing virtual and window visits that are already in place. The pod shell is up and plastered and just needs decoration which staff and residents are discussing - lots of exciting ideas. Families will use an appointment system to book a pod visit ensuring a member of the care team is always on hand to support where required. 

Our wonderful Donna McDermot , Care Practitioner at Bowerfield Court, is cutting her hair to raise money for The Christie and residents at both Bowerfield Court and Bowerfield House. She will be sending her hair to a charity that make wigs for those going through chemotherapy. The cut will take place on 15th December, where one of the residents will make the first snip!

Bowerfield House partied like it was the 1950s! All the ladies thoroughly enjoyed dressing up in their skirts and headscarves, with everyone enjoying the music and buffet. We all definitely rocked around the clock!

With Christmas time fast approaching, residents and staff a like can't wait for some jolly time.

White Rose Lodge like many other homes have put up the decorations early, following the government guidelines. This year has been hard for us all, staff, residents, and families,

Residents have been very strong and acknowledged this hard time and made all the effort to be creative, active, and positive. Supporting one another by spending time together and continuing to smile. 

Residents at The Westbourne celebrated their theme for November with A Tour Of Ireland which included watching riverdance performers, singing and even some dancing by the staff. It was great to see some of the men joining in with the celebrations, chatting together and tapping their feet to the music. 

Our wonderful Donna McDermot, CP at Bowerfield Court, is cutting her hair to raise money for The Christie and residents at both Bowerfield Court and Bowerfield House. She will be sending her hair to a charity that makes wigs for those going through chemotherapy. The cut will take place on 15th December, where one of the residents will make the first snip.

For International Men's Day today we very much recognised and celebrated the men of our home. They thoroughly enjoyed pints of beer, pork pies coupled with branston pickle and games of scrabble. 

This week, we were kindly gifted a bunch of beautiful flowers and chocolates, along with a thank you letter from Stockport Council as a reward for all the hard work the staff have done in this difficult time. Thank you Stockport Council! And a big thank you to all our hard working staff in all our homes working extra hard through this lockdown. You're all amazing! 

We had a lovely surprise today, a beautiful sweetie hamper was delivered from one of our lovely families to say thank you to our team at Troutbeck. A massive thank you for thinking of us. Staff and residents will really enjoy digging into this smashing sweetie selection - Team Troutbeck. 

All staff donned a moustache for Movember to show their support and raise awareness for men's health issues. Quite a few laughs were raised too!
