Our Halloween celebrations really were fantastic thanks to the creativity of the people living with us and all of these beautiful masks that were created 🎃👻

At Highfield many of the people living with us enjoy participating in art and craft activities and this week joined into pumpkin crafting including painting, carving along with flower arranging in the pumpkins 🎃

At Buckingham House the people who live with us enjoys our daily morning exercise sessions. Nothing better than some gentle stretching and seated exercises to get the day off to a great start .

This daily exercise class is so popular that our staff also join in.

Lace Hill Manor has been designed with superior care at the heart, supported with five-star facilities ensuring people can benefit from exceptional personalised nursing, residential and dementia care. As a home, we want to provide not only the very best physical environment for those living with us, but an opportunity for them to live life to the fullest and celebrate their individuality.

The residents loved listening to music with a cuppa and being pampered from nails to make up in there very own beauty salon here at the Moors Care Centre.  We have lots of activities on during the week but sometimes we just enjoy some 1-1 time together having our nails done or a pamper for the ladies.

We celebrated a belated Macmillan Coffee morning in September to raise vital funds for this amazing charity and all they do to support the community.  The day of the Macmillan coffee morning coincided with our annual care awards so we decided to host this a week later so our wonderful residents had two parties which they loved.

On Friday 19th October we were delighted to be presented with second prize from Great Aycliffe town council for best community garden. We were absolutely over the moon to receive this award. We would like to say a huge thank you to Ken for all his hard work he has put into our beautiful garden we really do appreciate it, all his hard work has paid off.

We had such a lovely afternoon watching the care awards and cheering for the nominated staff across the homes and we enjoyed a lovely buffet of the residents favourite foods.

Well done from Garden Hill to all of the winners in the region and country from our team to yours and we hope to see you there next year.

Staff here at Alexandra Court got in the spooky spirit and dressed up for the occasion. All the staff really enjoyed it and we had such a fun day.  

We enjoyed celebrating the Annual MMCG and Countrywide Care Awards in September at the home.  We were joined by our wonderful residents enjoying themselves with some cocktails and we were all keeping our fingers crossed for Jodie to win the award of Activities Coordinator of the Year.

Molly, has said that it doesn't matter if we win as she thinks we are all winners every day and we are all doing fantastic work and she really appreciate all that we do for her.
