One of our residents shares his birthday with the Queen. He said jokingly that he hoped she would pop in and wish him Happy Birthday.

We had an idea.  We had Queen Elizabeth masks made and so he had plenty of birthday wishes from the Queen.  He laughed so much he was in tears and he said that we made his day. 

Here at Earsdon Grange we have been so delighted with all of the lovely community spirit and wanted to say a few thank you's to let them know how very much we appreciate them.

A big thank you to West Allotment Club for their kind donations of tea, coffee and biscuits for all staff at home and selection of toiletries for the residents. These are all greatly appreciated and the residents were delighted to receive them from you.

Willowdene Care Home on Lizards Lane, Sedgefield received a rather unexcepected but fabulous donation from Teeside scrub hub. They have donated some scrub bags for the staff.  These bags are so useful to us during these times and we wanted to say a huge thank you to you for thinking of us at Willowdene.

The residents at Willow Bank enjoyed a cream tea for Mother's day. They made banners to decorate the dining room and made it look special. Residents baked some buns and decorated them and enjoyed scones with jam and clotted cream, the ladies all thought they were delicious.

We received the gorgeous bouquet of flowers as a thank you from one of our families.  

We had a surprise telephone call today from the lovely people at Tingley, Ardsley & Thorpe Viral Kindness Group. The team make beautiful laundry bags and have kindly donated a bag for each member of staff to put their uniforms in. 

A wonderful chocolate hamper received today with a lovely thank you message to all our staff at Heeley Bank Care Home. 

Massive congratulations to Pam who has worked at Howgate House for 13 years and her husband Ian on their 30th wedding anniversary. We hope our hamper goes a little way to making up for the cruise they should have been going on.

Much love and good wishes from staff and residents.

Thank you to the children at Busy Bees Nursery for sending some fabulous drawings to our residents. It has certainly made us all smile and the residents love looking at the wonderful creations. 

Dear Sandra and the Hope Green team

We just wanted to let you know how much we appreciated all you will be doing for all the residents  in your care at this especially challenging time.

It must be worrying for you  ( as it is for everyone).
