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.

The sun is out in Catterick and we thought we would go to the beach, or rather our fabulous activities lady Elaine, thought we could create our own beach in the home. We all had a fabulous day with our fake sand, face props. beach ball, candy floss and ice cream.

We had some fun in the activities lounge with the parachute. There was lots of laughing coming from the room. Everyone held a colour in a circle and then we popped a ball in the middle and flicked up the parachute to see which colour the ball landed on when the parachute came back

A huge donation, of everything anyone could need for a wonderful afternoon celebration. Sandwiches, scones, cakes, and non-alcoholic fizz to make it a wonderful celebration.
