Primrose House feature in the 2018 Luxury Care Home Guide

Stonehaven were invited to Coutts in London on Friday, to celebrate the inclusion of Primrose House in Knight Frank’s 2018 Luxury Care Home Guide. 100 of the most prestigious care homes across the county are featured in this beautifully presented guide, so it was a real honour to be there. Primrose House in Westward Ho! opened in September 2016. It’s location on the North Devon coast means that many of its 30 ensuite bedrooms enjoy views out to sea, as far as Saunton Sands and Lundy Island, on a clear day. The building was designed with the dementia resident in mind, with carefully chosen colours, lighting, textiles and lay-out. For more information about Primrose House, or to book an appointment to view, please call 01237 488023.

Fireworks at Chollacott House

Staff and residents at Chollacott House and Drake enjoyed a wonderful fireworks display last night, from the warmth and comfort of the conservatory, whilst listening to ‘The Phantom of the Opera.’ Butternut squash and Chili Soup was served, followed by Parkin, a cake inextricably linked to the Guy Fawkes celebration, with the ‘Parkin’ being representative of the bonfire.

100th Birthday Celebrations at The Manor

Huge Congratulations to Joan at The Manor, who turned 100 a couple of weeks ago. A card arrived from The Queen, which has been framed and put on her bedroom wall. A party was held in her honour, with the dining room decorated with balloons and bunting, and tables set out in banqueting style. Friends, family and fellow residents enjoyed party food, cake and a glass or two of sherry. Joan refused to let any harm come to the donkey pinata, so it stayed intact for the duration of the party!
