A Trip out in The Wanderer

A few of the staff and residents at Kent House in Okehampton took a picnic up onto Dartmoor this week in the wanderer, to enjoy the sunshine and some fresh air. I think they all thoroughly appreciated a change of scenery after weeks of lockdown!

Thank you, Morrisons in Bodmin!

Another lovely delivery, this time to our St Petrocs care team in Bodmin from Morrisons. Thank you – this kindness means so much to us!

Frensham Garden looking Beautiful!

The residents at Frensham House in Brixham have been enjoying sitting out in this gorgeous weather, watching the fish basking in the sun!

Thank you, Stoke Hill Infant School!

The Lilacs, our home in Exeter, had a lovely delivery this afternoon from a teacher at Stoke Hill Infant and Nursery School. For the last two weeks the children have been focusing on helping the community, and they chose The Lilacs as the recipient of all their efforts! They have drawn pictures, painted pebbles, made dream catchers and bird feeders. They also raised money and bought staff some gifts. Staff at the home have hung and pinned every item around the home and gardens. All looks amazing! Thank you so much – it means the world!

Clapping for Carers

As the care team at Kent House in Okehampton took residents outside last night to clap for the NHS, passers by stopped, to clap for our carers! That meant a lot.

Happy 100th Birthday, Pauline!

Chollacott House has been lucky enough today to celebrate another resident become a Centurion. Pauline Coverly enjoyed a social distancing 100th birthday celebration with her family. She had a thoroughly wonderful time under the circumstances.

VE Day Drive-by at Bluebell House

What a wonderful way to celebrate VE Day at Bluebell House in Westward Ho! All of the staff and residents came out of the home at 2pm, to wave to friends and family who drove slowly past. The weather was perfect, flags were flying, ice-cream and lemonade served and some great music played. A truly emotional day for all.Bluebell House - VE Day Driveby! Bluebell House - VE Day Driveby!
