Mother’s day is such a special day in all our calendars, and perhaps a little harder to celebrate this year as we are so used to big family gatherings in all of our homes. But we did manage a few quiet visits from family, with plenty of colourful spring flowers and delicious cakes.
One of the positive things about this year is discovering hidden talents. With lockdown and visitors restrictions we have sadly been unable to allow our usual hairdressers into the homes. It’s amazing how many of our care team can cut hair! It seems that Dhimo, our Actitives Coordinator at Chollaott House in Tavistock is really rather good at it!
Who else is enjoying some Welsh cakes on St David’s Day??
I just love these fridge magnets made by the talented residents of Dove Tree House in Exeter!
Unexpected deliveries like these have such a positive effect on us all! The staff and residents at St Petrocs were delighted to receive these beautiful spring flower from Churchtown Farm on the Isles of Scilly, with the words:
‘To all the staff
From Bodmin Light and Life Church.’
Thank you so much for this Act of Kindness.
Residents at Primrose House in Westward Ho! were losing sight of their pancakes as they flipped them skywards, so staff turned them purple. It worked a treat! Happy Purple Pancake Day!
Celebrating Valentine’s with a coffee and cake morning at Chollacott.
Just look at those cakes!!!!
The residents at Chollacott House in Tavistock, getting creative in readiness for Valentine’s Day celebrations!
When I was asked to come up with a theme for a new company logo, I thought of our original ethos as that of a safe & strong home and place to dwell.
A little flurry of snow fell on Chollacott on New Years Eve and some of the residents enjoyed going outside to experience it. Unfortunately not enough for a snowball fight, though it saved Barbara the Manager doing risk assessments ☺☺
