🐾 Veronica Brings the Smiles! 💕
Our beloved furry friend Veronica (Ronny) visited us once again this week!
She’s always such a calming, joyful presence—bringing smiles, cuddles, and lots of tail wags.
A Himalayan Adventure Close to Home
A few of our residents enjoyed a fantastic trip to Alain Rouveure’s Himalayan Coffee Shop, Gallery and Gardens.
From delicious cakes to inspiring stories about their work in Nepal, it was truly a trip to remember.


Board Games, Jigsaws & Creativity Galore!
Our residents love engaging in board games, jigsaw puzzles, and arts and crafts.
These activities are not only fun, but also fantastic for focus, dexterity, and sparking imagination.
Dotty Delights at Shipston Lodge!
Dotty, one of our team’s adorable dogs, came in to visit—and the residents were absolutely thrilled!
Animal visits always bring so much warmth and happiness to our home.


Soaking Up the Sunshine!
Our residents have been making the most of the glorious sunshine, enjoying strolls, chats, and fresh air in the gardens.
Simple pleasures, shared smiles.
Wellness in Motion with Hayley’s Yoga
Residents enjoyed another rejuvenating session of seated yoga with Hayley—focusing on deep breathing, gentle stretching and core strength.
Calm minds, happy hearts.

Rocking Through the Decades with Barry Juckes!
We were thrilled to welcome back the brilliant Barry Juckes, who treated us to an hour of hits from the 50s, 60s and 70s.
The residents loved every minute—singing along and tapping their toes to the classics!
From crafting to competition!
Our residents had a fantastic time playing hoopla with a game they created during our arts and crafts session.
It’s always wonderful to see creativity spark joy and laughter!

Celebrating the Heart of Taylor & Taylor Care
Last week we took a moment to do something truly important, celebrate the incredible people who make our homes so special.
Across every Taylor & Taylor Care home, our staff go above and beyond every day to deliver safe, compassionate, values-led care. Their dedication, kindness and professionalism are the reason our homes feel like home.
Exploring the beauty around us!
We took a lovely outing through the picturesque villages and countryside near Shipston Lodge. Fresh air, great company, and beautiful views made for a perfect day.

A fantastic afternoon was had at our Summer Fete last Saturday!
From face painting to magical entertainers, there was fun for all ages – and the smiles said it all!
A massive thank you to everyone who helped make it so special, and to our amazing local community for coming out and showing support for our wonderful home.
Our residents had a wonderful time during our arts & crafts session last week, weaving colourful baskets and showing off their creativity.
It’s always a joy to see such beautiful designs take shape! 🎨🧺
