The management and staff at Knights Court Nursing home were truly humbled and touched by the kind gesture of a former relative of residents that had used our services several years ago. We were truly honoured to have created a strong everlasting impact on someone and touched deeply when a former relative popped into our care home to say thanks by gifting us this Masterpiece ‘Winter Village’ cake for the staff and residents at Knights Court Nursing home who performed such a great job of looking after her late Mum and Dad.

One of our residents was sent some beautiful daffodils as a gift. She was thrilled when she opened the box, the beautiful scent of the daffodils and the vibrant colours. We sat together and arranged them in the vases. She was so pleased to have been sent such a beautiful gift. 

Last week we had the pleasure and privilege to celebrate another birthday! We celebrated the birthday of our youngest resident, who as you can see from her cake turned 21 (again) on Friday! We had a fabulous day celebrating and look forward to celebrating many more! 

Welcome to Allingham House. My name is James Bradford and I have worked in the care and retirement sector for the past 5 years.

The Westbourne residents and staff have been enjoying their January theme of Scotland with some wonderful Scottish dancing together. With two steps forward, two steps back and then round in a circle there was lots of laughter. All finished off with a discussion on Scottish scenery and our favourite memories, it created a lovely vibrant atmosphere for all to take part in. Happy January everyone.

We know that music has many positives including better health through the enjoyment of listening, dancing and signing. We don't usually colour coordinate the musical instruments to our clothing though! 

Whilst we may not be able to go and see Barry Manilow in concert we can always shake our tail feathers and the maracas and sing our heart out to Copacabana. 

My name is Ashleigh and I am the new Manager of Alexandra Court. I have over 16 years’ experience working in residential care, which I have enjoyed every day of! I  feel privileged to be able to work with and support people to make a positive difference to their lives. I am very pleased at leading  the wonderful staff team here at Alexandra Court and ensuring the residents here achieve the best possible life in our home.

Monday 18th January was world snowman day, so to celebrate we decorated some biscuits, yo look like melted snowmen!

Here at Belvoir Vale we have a new staff member join us today! She saw how busy and hard working our staff are and wanted to help us out, so we got her one of our shirts and put on her PPE and off she went monitoring the floor, making sure the staff were doing all of their jobs. She joined us in a meeting and at the end of the day she came to the home manager and insisted on a pay rise for all the hard work she had done! It was a joy to have her join our team for the day and we look forward to her joining us again!
