Pictonary is one of our favourite games with both our residents and staff getting involved. It can get quite competitive and noisy but its always good natured and good fun.

Like many other people, over the last few weeks we have noticed that there is an abundance of wildlife and especially birds.

The bird song is so soothing and seems much louder than usual. Our enclosed garden is a lovely place to watch the different birds and we feel blessed we are able to share this space with them.

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.

Willowdene Care Home on Lizard Lane in Sedgefield was delighted when a member of staff from Sedgefield Community College popped by with 4 planters with flowers in that the key worker children made for the home. Our residents were absolutely delighted and we can't thank you enough for thinking of us.
