Lovely surprise today at Cavendish Court with a smashing gift from our local Waitrose – magazines, orchids and hand wash. Thank you so much for your kind thoughts from all at Cavendish Court. 

We all know that hand washing is key at this unprecedented time and Claire our Home Manager made up a little ditty to help us wash our hands.

First we were afraid, we were petrified

Belmont House on High Street, Starbeck wanted to design a banner for the home. The activities team designed the banner and with help from the residents in Promenade Suite this was painted. We have concentrated on the colour blue to support the NHS. 

Here at Earsdon Grange we have been so delighted with all of the lovely community spirit and wanted to say thank you to let them know how much we appreciate them.

We were really thankful to receive this lovely delivery to our home. A local family who are members of Burton Girls Brigade baked some delicious cakes for our residents and staff.  It really brightened our day and we are so touched that they were thinking about us. 

Bowerfield Court and Bowerfield House would like to say a big thank you to Susan Butler who has kindly donated 50 mask comforters. These support general face masks by relieving the pressure of the elastic on ears.

Residents at Bowerfield Court have created bird houses to hang in the gardens at the home. They enjoyed painting them and are looking forward to seeing the birds enjoy them too. 

Thank you for the special delivery of chocolate brownies at Hope Green Care Home from a family of one of our residents. They got delivered with a lovely message of thanks. 

Some more lovely home made cakes donated to our staff by ‘Carol from Heathrow Airport’.  Today were some very delicious butterfly cakes and a banana sponge cake. 

Thank you Carol for your home baked treats which were really appreciated by the staff on duty.

Sandra Senior, Care Manager at Cavendish Court Care Home showed her appreciation of her teams hard work and thank them for the fabulous job they are doing by handing out personalised pens to every member of staff. Such a thoughtful gift.

A huge thank you to these Pangbourne residents for their generosity and support. They were able to organise the delivery of some additional PPE for our staff members with 2 boxes of face visors direct from Bloc Blinds in Northern Ireland.

Rainbow wishes from all residents and staff at Bridge House.

Here at Earsdon Grange Care Home in on Thorntree Drive in Wellfield we are all prepared for whatever these challenging times may throw at us.  We wanted the residents to feel comfortable with us in our PPE so we thought we would dress up like Earsdon's Angel's to make them smile. It als

Thank you to our local Chinese restaurant who donated 600 masks last week to Wyndham Hall Care Home. 

Local company Swizzels  dropped off a selection of sweets for the staff and residents of Hope Green.
