Peace of mind

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.

Some of the residents at Hope Green had been talking about how they used to love knitting. Terms like 'casting on' 'casting off' and 'cable' were being used freely and to the amazement of those who had never knitted before.

We spent the morning colouring in some lovely pictures today, we chose a colour by numbers activity which was a Christmas Gingerbread house and our residents really enjoyed colouring it in. We also had a good go at our Word searches which our residents liked and found very relaxing.
