We had a presentation at Howgate House on Wednesday 5th August. Eve, who is one of our oldest ladies gave out the Oscars to all the joiners and maintenance men for keeping us all safe during lockdown.

Howgate House is supporting the local primary school breakfast club by collecting food and drinks for the children. They have supported the home through the last few difficult months by sending pen pal letters and drawing pictures of rainbows and sunshine for every residents' room.

As part of our Yorkshire day celebrations our residents at Howgate House enjoyed choosing their favourite Yorkshire sweets from the trolley.

We had a lovely addition to the Ashfield Court family when Cosmina had her baby girl on 7th August 2020 at 22.16 weighing in at a healthy 7lb 4oz.

Both mummy and baby are doing well and we can't wait to meet you soon. From all at Ashfield Court welcome to the family.

The sun is out in Catterick and we thought we would go to the beach, or rather our fabulous activities lady Elaine, thought we could create our own beach in the home. We all had a fabulous day with our fake sand, face props. beach ball, candy floss and ice cream.

We all had such fun with the face prop and even built a sand castle and enjoyed the lovely cooling ice cream. We will definitely visit again.

We had some fun in the activities lounge with the parachute. There was lots of laughing coming from the room.  Everyone held a colour in a circle and then we popped a ball in the middle and flicked up the parachute to see which colour the ball landed on when the parachute came back down to eye level. There was much debate whether it was one colour or another.  We got quite competitive.

We were so grateful to receive a wonderful donation of afternoon tea from Lakes & Dales Co-operative.

A huge donation, of everything anyone could need for a wonderful afternoon celebration. Sandwiches, scones, cakes, and non-alcoholic fizz to make it a wonderful celebration.

We had a party in all of the dining areas, with bunting, music and a great atmosphere. 

A wonderful afternoon, had by all. 

Meet Maya our Chef at Rosedale Nursing and Care Home. She loves baking cakes for our residents and seeing the delight on their faces when she presents the afternoon snacks.

Maya and her team were delighted to be awarded the 5 Star Food Hygiene Award again this year when they were inspected in January. Well done team Rosedale.

We celebrated National Ice Cream Day at the home on 23rd July and we certainly picked a lovely day for it as the sun was shining outside and we enjoyed our afternoon ice cream treat.

We celebrated National Cheesecake Day on 30th July at Rosedale and we thought it would be amazing to have cheesecake for our tea break in the afternoon.

Maya our head chef made a raspberry cheesecake which was simply divine.
