Dove Tree House - Snow

A huge thank you to all our wonderful care teams!

Although lovely to see the snow in Devon (a rare thing!) it has presented challenges for many. Thank you to all of our care teams for going above and beyond, to keep our residents safe, warm and well-fed during the past few days. Many people were stranded at work, so kindly stayed to work shifts that others (trapped at home!), were unable to cover. I’m always overwhelmed by the kindness, generosity and selflessness of people in times of need. Thank you, you lovely people!
