We had a lovely day at Willowdene for Elf Day. The staff got dressed up to surprise the residents and created such a giggle with their costumes.  We enjoyed some lovely cup cakes and tea brought to us by our team of elves before they headed off into the winter night back to the North Pole (or at least homes in the Northeast).

Rose Lodge Remembers....  Our fallen soldiers on the battlefield, the men who returned to their loved ones and the women folk left at home or working in the factories.  Rose Lodge always celebrates Remembrance Day, and this year was no different. 

Our Christmas elves have been creating gorgeous Christmas Wreaths at the home.  Our lifestyle coordinator, Stacey used to be a florist and has been helping the residents create wonderful Christmas gifts for families and friends.  To see the finished product, have a look at our Facebook page.

We were delighted to celebrate Children in Need at the home in November and the residents had a lovely time hosting our inhouse coffee morning for residents and staff.

We are a firm believer that charity begins at home and here at Earsdon Grange the staff and residents all dressed up for children in need to raise money for this wonderful charity.  We had lots of fun during the day and enjoyed some puzzles and home baking.

One of our wonderful residents, Dennis, designed, painted and planted these gorgeous pots for our home manager, Kelly, as a thank you. 

Dennis wants to make lots more to make the entrance to Astor beautiful for visitors to the home.

Congratulations to everyone who participated in the River View Care Centre challenge to cycle from Tilehurst to Lapland in support of The Alzheimer’s Society ‘Elf Day’ taking place today Friday 3 December.

Both staff and residents have been working hard to make Belvoir Vale look festive. We have more decorations to put up over the next few days but the residents have done such a great job so far!

Congratulations to our newly qualified Care Practitioners who have all passed the course with flying colours!

We are really proud of these ladies and their dedication and commitment they have shown continuing on with their studies over this past year.
