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.

Google tells us that it will take 6 days and 7 hours – a total of 151 hours, so we really need everyone’s to reach our target!

On Elf Day, Theo the 8 foot mascot for ‘The Knights Foundation’, a children’s disabilities charity, will come and collect the Christmas post and say hello to everyone at River View.

Clarendon Court are all ready to welcome our local community for carols, minced pies, mulled wine or hot chocolate in support of the Stapeley Christmas Lights Walking Trail. Chilly night so we'll all be wrapped up warm.

Christmas has arrived at Bowerfield House, we have all enjoyed putting our Christmas decorations up inside and outside our home. They are looking amazing and all staff, residents and their families have commented on how lovely the home looks.

We have made Christmas decorations and all residents received a lovely Christmas card which was a delight to see the reactions on their faces, there were smiles all round!

On a crisp November day, we were really fortunate to welcome The Moving On Choir to River View.

While the choir sang beautifully, the people living with us and their guests joined along in the singing, which was a really heart warming experience for us all.

Warmly wrapped up with layers of coats and blankets, we all welcomed and appreciated the cakes, mulled wine and hot chocolate that was served afterwards.

We are all looking forward to the Christmas Carols event now more than ever.

Everyone in Amber Court is very excited for Christmas day, that’s why we made a beautiful wreath which was decorated by our lovely residents and staff. Look how lovely it is!

Clarendon Court are busily preparing for an outdoor Carol Concert to support the launch of the Stapeley Christmas Lights Walking Trail in support of local charities. We look forward to welcoming friends and families to join us for carols, mulled wine and mince pies on November the 25th at 6p.m.

Halloween at Kings Court was a fantastic day, made even more enjoyable by all the people working at the care home dressing up and really getting into the spirit of things.
