Dove Tree House - mothers day cake

Mother’s Day Cake

The thoughtful chef at Dove Tree House in Exeter, created a wonderful cake for all the mothers in the home to share, in the absence of sons and daughters this year. Although a few turned up to wave through the window at their mums – some held lovely Mother’s Day banners! Positive stories in challenging times!

Olive, resident of Dove Tree House in Exeter, had a great day celebrating her 103rd Birthday!

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!

Stonehaven run in aid of the Exeter Dementia Action Alliance

On Sunday, the ladies of the Stonehaven Support Office took part in the Muddifords Court Cheese Run in aid of the Exeter Dementia Action Alliance. 180 people ran or walked the route from Burlescombe Village, along the beautiful Great Western Canal Path, to Muddifords Court Country House, where they enjoyed a family fun day! Bouncy castles, face painting, live music, cheese toasties and beer. It was a fantastic day, the sun shone and all the money raised went to the Exeter Dementia Action Alliance.
