Staff and residents came together in the lounge to observe the 2 minute silence and then had tea and cakes followed by a fun game of balloon bat and ball in very patriotic colours whilst listening to and singing along to Dame Vera Lynne.
Our homes will be celebrating the 75th Anniversary of VE Day today. We have parties planned and a special drive-by in Westward Ho! of families and friends giving a big wave to residents of Bluebell House. We have received so many generous donation of food and drink, to make our celebrations even more memoarble. I look forward to seeing the photographs! Have a great day, all!
What a gorgeous selection of cheese and pickles, crisps and snacks, delivered to The Manor in Exminster as a thank you to all the staff. So much appreciated!
I love this image of Chollacott House at night with the beautiful rainbow, painted by staff and residents, lit up as a symbol of thanks to our NHS and to all key workers during these challenging times.
This week, The Manor in Exminster have been sending photos of their residents holding up a messages for family. We’ve had some lovely emails and phone call back from them saying how much they loved this:
‘Many thanks to you and everyone for the loving care you give to Bett and all in your care at The Manor. I miss Bett terribly and to see her looking so well and happy has given us a great lift at a time when the news from up and down the country is so depressing. A view which will be shared by all when they get a photo of their loved ones I am sure. A big well done to all, I can imagine how stressful it must be for you and all our friends at this time and we can only say how much we admire you for your fortitude at this difficult time and this goes as well for your families who are supporting you.’
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Love to all.
