Bringing Smiles with Ronnie the PAT Therapy Dog!
Every visit from Ronnie (Veronica), our beloved PAT therapy dog, and her owner Pete is a true highlight!
The joy and warmth that Ronnie brings to our residents are simply priceless.
PAT Therapy is a remarkable charity, training dogs to brighten the lives of the elderly, disabled, and those with special needs.
A Heartwarming Send-Off for Julie!
It was wonderful to see such a great turnout as our very own activity coordinator Julie entertained everyone before heading off on her summer holiday!
Our residents had a blast, and while we’ll miss Julie, they’re in great hands with Karen and Stephen, who have a fun-filled lineup of activities and outings planned over the coming weeks!
We celebrate the incredible Joy as she turns 98!
Joy is a true inspiration, embodying grace, dignity, and unwavering strength. Born in the same year as Queen Elizabeth II, she shares those timeless qualities that make her so beloved by all.
We are honoured to celebrate this special milestone with her.
Please join us in wishing Joy a very Happy Birthday!
On Tuesday, we had the pleasure of visiting Esmere Gardens for a lively sing-along with the talented Lizzie on vocals and keyboard.
It was wonderful to see our two homes come together, enjoying each other’s company and creating joyful memories.
The ride out on the Shipston Link was an added treat!
Another Wonderful Knit & Natter!
What a fantastic turnout for our community Knit & Natter!The creativity was in full bloom with a splendid display of flowers crafted by some truly talented hands.
If you’d like to join in the fun, get in touch for details for the next one. You don’t have to knit—just come for the company and the cake!
A Joyful Afternoon with Down Memory Lane!
We had an absolutely wonderful afternoon with Nick and friends from Down Memory Lane, a fantastic voluntary group from our community.
They brought so much happiness, joy, and cherished memories to our residents.
We’re grateful for their visit and the smiles they brought to our home!
Last week we teamed up with our sister Nursing Home Esmere Gardens for a wonderful trip to Cotswold Lavender Fields.
Our residents were captivated by the seemingly endless rows of lavender and the lively wildflower meadows.
Despite the heat, we were well-prepared with sun hats, parasols, sunscreen, refreshing cold drinks, and tasty choc ices.
We found a perfect shady spot to relax and take in the breathtaking views!
