We were delighted to receive this certificate from Reading Lions thanking everyone at Riverview for their recent donations to the Reading Food Bank. 

It's so important to support our community in what ever way we can and it is something we will continue to do. 

We had a wonderful visit from Iceland in December delivering 6 bags full of mince pies for staff and residents.  They were delicious and we enjoyed them with cream too.

Thank you Iceland.

We were overjoyed when the Community team at Tesco in Catterick arrived at the home with 39 bags with three gifts in each parcel plus, crackers and poinsettias to bring Christmas joy from the team at Catterick Garrison Tesco.    The community team raised over £300 for the Residents of Rosedale.  Thank you so much for thinking of us again.

We received a wonderful email on Christmas Eve from three wonderful young ladies, Lacey, Eva and Sienna. We thought you'd enjoy their  email.

Hello and happy Christmas Eve to all at Rosedale

Lacey, Eva and Sienna brought the £200 they have raised to you on Christmas Eve for your staff and residents to spend as you wish.

We received some lovely cards for our residents from Sedgefield Primary School in December.  They had spent time drawing and colouring in pictures to send to our residents which they loved.  

Thank you so much we loved reading your cards.

 

 Sainsburys at Sedgefield Manager Nicola and her colleague Sophie called to Willowdene care home to donate a box of Christmas goodies for the staff and residents.  The residents at the home were over the moon.

We received some wonderful cards from St Joseph's Primary school. Each one had a lovely message in from the wonderful school children. There was a card for each resident.

Thank you so much for thinking of us all

Christmas at Yohden Care Complex is always a magical time.  We had two Christmas parties at the home.  One in the Lodge and one in the Court so that all residents had a party they enjoyed.  

Here is a picture of our buffet in the Court and the Lodge had a gorgeous Afternoon Tea from a local supplier which was delicious.  To see more of our Christmas antics visit us on Facebook to see when Santa (Jill in activities) visited and our Christmas nurf gun battle.

We had lots of fun for Elf Day here at Water Royd and had a lot of fun dressing up for the residents.  There was many activities we had on over the Christmas period at the home and have put up lots of pictures on our Facebook page.
