On Friday we bid a fond farewell to the wonderful Manager of Cross Park House in Brixham, Ann-Marie Wilkinson. Ann-Marie had been at Cross Park and with Stonehaven for 14 years, and she will be much missed by residents, their families and everyone who has worked with her over the years. So sad not to be able to give her the huge hugs we wanted to, but a socially distanced wave and smiling eyes above masks, just had to do! Wishing you happy times ahead Ann-Marie, you’ve been amazing! For now, she leaves Cross Park in the very capable hands of her long time Deputy, Jackie Slack.

Christmas Day at Chollacott House
/in NewsIt was definitely a different kind of Christmas this year, but the team at Chollacott House made sure it was just as special for all of their residents.

Guinea Pigs enjoy Christmas too!

Special Christmas Gifts
/in NewsJaz, manager of Dove Tree House in Exeter had the idea for the residents to make personalised Christmas gifts for their families. They made salt dough Christmas decorations, soap, tea light holders, snow globes and calendars. They also made truffles but ate them, so chef Keith made up a batch for every resident to put in their gift package! The residents are giving their gifts to their loved ones this week and over the festive period.
