At Acorn House we had our very own awards ceremony to show appreciation to all staff members within the home.The people living with us spent the previous month voting for staff members ensuring everybody got a certificate of appreciation and a small gift. Our lovely Eileen was more than happy to help present our awards with the manager. 

We also had entertainment from the wonderful singer Louis Devere, everyone had a fantastic time singing and dancing along. It was a fantastic day.

We would like to say a huge thank you to Dawlish CoOp Funeralcare for allowing us to join them at their superhero themed coffee morning for Barnardo’s. This year Coop Funeralcare are working together with Barnardo’s by fundraising to help them bring communities together to support young people.

Appletree Court Care Home had a their very own culture day...

Everyone living and working at Appletree Court enjoyed a variety of dishes and snacks from different cultures within their community to taste and enjoy.

The day was filled with scrumptious food and fun exploring and celebrating other cultures, it was a fantastic time for everyone who got involved!

Being based in the The Strand Community Centre, we see the amazing work that the local food bank does for the community and we as an organisation wanted to support them with a much-needed donation. We also wanted to say a specific thank you to Marie, not only for all her hard work but for her friendship to us since starting at the Strand.

In response to our residents wishes, our care home embarked on a remarkable journey to the seaside. With the full support of our dedicated team, we made it happen! 🌟

Despite the travel time of over an hour, the joy and happiness on our residents' faces made every minute worth it. This seaside adventure not only brought smiles but also had a significant impact on their overall wellbeing. 🏖️❤️

Peter from Lace Hill Manor has had a love for gliders since he was 15, so recently we organised to take him out to Bicester Motorglide. 

With the help of Lee from Motorglide, Peter had a lovely afternoon. He could name the gliders and tell us all about them, and he took his photo album and went through it with Lee and Paul, they were happy to listen to Peters story’s about how many flight hours he has done and the height he used to get to.
