Moving into a care home can be daunting

Rest assured, our care team are here to make sure that making the move is as easy as possible for you and your loved one. If you still need reassurance, here are some stories from our residents, their families and our care team.

Annette, Barbara, Louvain and I was in charge of writing our Christmas cards which were delivered to our neighbours throughout the festive period. Community spirit is very important to us and this is one way our residents wanted to show support.

As our home is set over three floors we had three beautiful trees to decorate over the festive period. Our residents selected a different colour theme for each floor and we picked the best decorations to fit and each tree had a hand made decoration on made by our residents and staff.

It turns out taking the Christmas tree down is just as much fun as putting it up. Smiles and giggles all round from our fabulous helpers Faye and Vera.

We have a Reminiscence Suitcase full of lovely information about the Norfolk Broads from the local library. The residents enjoyed talking about their holidays on the broads, looking back at photos and giggling at the floral hats, yellow polka dot swimsuits and trying on sunglasses.
