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.

A huge thank you to all our wonderful care teams!
/in NewsAlthough 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!

Heather’s wish to ride a horse, comes true at The Manor !
/in NewsThe wishing tree at The Manor is a wonderful idea, encouraging residents to think about something they have always wanted to do, but never had the opportunity. Heather is 85 and has recently recovered from a hip operation following a fall. She has always wanted to ride a horse. And yesterday, thanks to the Acorns & Squirrels Group, based at Oaklands Riding Centre in Alphington, her wish came true! It took eight people to get Heather onto the horse, but it was absolutely worth it, to see the joy on her face!

Fireworks at Chollacott House
