When the store manager spotted her bulk buying she was quizzed, so explained she was from a local care home. With that, the lovely lady from Waitrose rushed off to find some beautiful plants to cheer up the residents who were missing visits from loved ones. Thank you Waitrose – you made us all smile!

The Lilacs maintain their ‘Good’ rating from CQC

Well done to The Lilacs team in Exeter for maintaining their ‘Good’ rating from CQC, in all 5 Key Lines of Enquiry. The feedback provided to CQC from residents, their families, visitors and health professionals was overwhelmingly positive. One relative commented ‘It’s small enough to be like a family – it’s like a home, not an institution.’ Another said ‘When I come in, it’s like coming into Mum’s house – we are so grateful for your care of our dear Mum.’
