For VE Day in The Lodge, we have been making a display to commemorate all of the soldiers coming home to their families. Today we have had a coffee morning while we reminisced on photo's of street parties, Winston Churchill, newspaper clippings and soldiers being merry. We sang some songs from that era including songs from Vera Lynn and George Formby amongst many others and enjoyed a quiz.

The residents at The Westbourne celebrated VE Day listening and singing along told old time war songs such as we'll meet again and white cliffs of Dover. Everyone had flags to wave. Some residents had flags or stripes painted on their faces to mark the occasion. Our chef baked us a cake and we decorated it with raspberries and blueberries. Everyone enjoyed a buffet tea to celebrate. A good day had by all. 

Thank you  to our nurses and all staff for making our residents feel special,  cared for and safe . We are  all looking forward to tucking into this fabulous cake made by our very own activities coordinator Dianne – Thank you

A big Happy International Nurses Day from us all at Croft House. To celebrate our nurses at Croft house the Home Manager, Martin, made the most delicious cake and in the colours of the Romanian Flag as all three of our nurses are from Romania. 

We celebrated 80 years of service today with our 5 domestic staff here at Willowbank who collectively have worked nearly 80 years between them. We enjoyed afternoon tea in the garden hosted by our home manager Angela Galloway and deputy Hillary. Well done to you all and thank you for your continued support. 

Happy International Nurses Day to all our wonderful nurses at Willowbank, but also the district nurse team who support us. We are celebrating with carrot cake and refreshments. 

White Rose Lodge would like to say a huge thank you to Reverend Maxine and The Priory for their lovely donation of handmade goods and cream eggs for our residents here. The residents are very thankful and love hearing from Reverend Maxine. The generous gifts have been loved by all, thank you. 

Everyone at White Rose Lodge would like to say a huge thank you to Tesco for their generous donation of hand sanitiser. It will be a great help for us in preventing the spread of coronavirus and keeping Covid at bay. 

We always enjoy our themed nights at Skell Lodge and this week our residents requested to have Indian Cuisine. We enjoyed different starters which included onion bahjis, lamb and vegetable samosas, curries, rice, naan breads and poppadoms for our main meal and then gateaux for dessert with a beer or a glass of wine to wash it all down with. 

Our younger person unit at Minster Grange is our Aspen Unit and as the weather hasn't been terrific so far we thought we'd give our lounge a facelift and we wanted to show you all. We hope you like it as much as we do.
