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.

Bowerfield House and our sister home The Belvedere linked up to do a come dine with me event. Our theme was royalty so we wore cut out face masks and got the Union Jack flags out. We also wrote the Queen a birthday card as its her official birthday next week, Happy Birthday Your Majesty.

Residents helped make colourful Mardi Gras shakers from empty Pringles tubes, cardboard rolls and paper towel tubes. They were decorated with free wallpaper samples, coloured feathers, flowers, butterflies and beads. They were then filled with dried rice.

The residents at Mary Chapman had a treat with a visit from Elvis. He didn't disappoint (especially the ladies!) as he sang and danced his way through an hour of Rock n Roll and of course Elvis songs!
