Hidden talents!

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!

SP Flowers

Little Act of Kindness

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.

PH Pancakes

Purple Pancakes at Primrose!

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!

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Our Stonehaven Logo

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.

Chollacott House - Snow

Snow on the Moor!

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 ☺☺

Chollacott House - Christmas Festivities

Christmas Day at Chollacott House

It 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. A visit from Father Christmas was most certainly the highlight! Families joined in the festivities from the garden, raising a glass to loved ones.
