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.

Today we enjoyed the glorious weather, the sun was shining and so it was a great excuse to bring out our ice cream van. The residents enjoyed the ice cream van with traditional ice cream van music. We all enjoyed different flavoured ice cream including the 99.

Woodland residents have created the most wonderful artwork for their Easter display, including chicks made from their hand prints and gorgeous bright daffodils that were suspended from the ceiling. After their hard work everyone enjoyed a special afternoon tea.

We've been getting creative and produced some lovely art work to hang on the wall. We have also added to our spring meadow with a flock of sheep and some colourful butterflies.
