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.

Wednesday 12th May 2021 was International Nurses Day and we wanted to say a massive thank you to our nurses at Minster Grange and all of the district nurses and community mental health nurses. You are all amazing and today we celebrate you and all you do. We organised for a cake station in reception so our nurses and the district and community nurses popping into the home could celebrate with us. 

It was a wonderful atmosphere at Hope Green on Saturday as we remembered VE Day together. Reminiscing about street parties, and waving flags and pom poms with a great singalong made for a fantastic time. Residents also enjoyed some dancing, a game of Tin Can Ally and afternoon scones with jam and cream. 

We had 2 winners for worker bee of the month in April. Isaac our kitchen assistant was nominated for going above and beyond at all times. Hayley our new carer was nominated for her positive attitude. Thank you and keep up the great work. 

If a nurse declines to do these kinds of things for her patient, ‘because it is not her business’, I should say that nursing was not her calling.

What a fantastic day we had at Bowerfield House. We celebrated VE Day with a quiz which Pat, Barry and Ellie won. They loved their prizes. Ellie won a bottle of wine and Barry and Pat won a pair of socks. We all enjoyed the entertainment, we had a singer on zoom. Our residents joined in whilst waving their flags, it was beautiful to see. We had a group chat about VE Day and everyone loved the decorations around the home. It was a great team effort to organise for a very special day. 

Trish Gordon was kindly gifted this hamper by Head Office for recently passing her Care Practitioner qualification. Well done Trish.
