Mother’s day is such a special day in all our calendars, and perhaps a little harder to celebrate this year as we are so used to big family gatherings in all of our homes. But we did manage a few quiet visits from family, with plenty of colourful spring flowers and delicious cakes.
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!

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 ☺☺
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.
Even Thunder and Zeus, the resident Guinea Pigs at Chollcott House, got into the Christmas spirit!
For the last couple of months, Stonehaven have been working hard to create safe Visitor rooms, so residents can spend time with their friends and family, without the risk of Covid coming into our homes. Chollacott House in Tavistock have this week launched their visitor suite – it’s warm, it’s cosy and it has brought so many smiles and happy tears already.
