In the past we have been blessed with regular visits by children from a local nursery but unfortunately we haven't been able to see them for the last few months and we have missed their visits.

Out of the blue we received these fantastic place mats.  They wanted us to know that they were still thinking about us and are looking forward to seeing us all soon.

This month has been filled with activities focusing on our theme of "Around the World". We have celebrated all of the continents throughout this month. 

We began July with North America. We had a Mexico day where we had fajitas and chilli con carne for dinner. In the afternoon we had a pinata. We also had Canada day bingo and we wrote to our pen pals who live in Waterloo, Ontario. 

We have received many messages of thanks over the last few months and below is an example of the lovely messages sent.

Staff and residents at Hope Green were over the moon to be  awarded 'Best Decorations' for our regional tea party competition in March.

We choose the theme Alice in Wonderland Mad Hatter Tea Party.

Tracey Yates, Regional Director presented Activities Coordinator Jess with the regional trophy. Well done Hope Green.

Local children took the time to create artwork and send letters to cheer up everyone at Heeley Bank during lockdown. The residents really liked the colourful pictures and the kind words.

"We as a family think we should put pen to paper to praise the staff at Heritage Care Centre in Tooting. Bec, Desiree, Sylvana, Aminata and Melinda need a particular mention. It is one thing to drop in the occasional box of chocolates or biscuits but we feel that the difference they are making, especially during these most testing of times, deserves to be recognised fully. 

We have been entertained on a weekly basis by various musicians whom have very kindly volunteered their time to play for care homes in our area. Here are the pics of Steph and Peter Steph is a retired GP who has worked at Troutbeck in the past.



She was delighted to return as a guest and we were equally delighted with the performance. Music is always a great source of entertainment for our residents, it has brought so much joy especially as we have been unable to have families visiting.

We have received lots of lovely reviews over the last few weeks and we really do appreciate all the kind words. 

Here are a few examples. 

"Just want to say a massive thank you , to each and everyone of you for what you are all doing in caring for R, and looking after him and all the other residents at Howgate. Your dedication and commitment to those relying on your efforts can not be praised too highly. Wishing you all the very best and stay safe."
