Thank you so much, we really do appreciate it.

Ashfield Court on Tewit Hall Road received a lovely donation from the wife of one of our residents at the home who thought we could all enjoy a treat during the day.  

Thank you for this lovely donation, the staff were absolutely delighted to receive the chocolate and this is only half of the donation too.

Residents at White Rose Lodge enjoyed a relaxing afternoon and coloured some pictures for the care staff to thank them on International Nurses Day.

VE Day at Rose Lodge Care Home on Carer’s Way, Cobblers Lane in Newton Aycliffe was made even more special by Aycliffe Radio joining us to launch their new show, Memory Lane, which plays 40's and 50's music outside our care home.  We had entertainment by the fantastic Amy Harrison who sang some of our favourite songs as well as the National Anthem.

We miss our visitors but during this time we are keeping in touch in what ever way we can and we have adapted and learnt new skills.

We have rediscovered the art of letter writing and regularly write letters to our loved ones and we look forward to receiving the replies.

Technology is amazing that we can see and chat with family and friends on what looks like a little television.

The community continue to be caring, sending in little parcels, together with other gifts, donations and letters. We appreciate them all.

One of our very talented staff member's at Parksprings Care Home got creative and celebrated International Nurses Day on Tuesday 12th May by drawing the nurses at the home. 

We received a lovely thank you letter this week. 

"I`d like everyone at Hope Green to know how immensely grateful I am for everything that you have all done to ensure that my mother`s last years were healthy and happy.

Despite me living so far away, and only having been able to visit the North of England once or twice a year, I can remember on my every single visit to Hope Green being aware of the hard work, patience, kindness and concern exhibited by each and every one of the staff .

A huge thank you to everyone at local Putney based catering company Dinner Ladies, who have been fundraising via Just Giving to provide meals for front line workers

Ashmead was lucky enough to be amongst the local care homes who received a delivery of individual food portions and drinks which was really appreciated.. The food was delicious, and we can’t thank you enough for thinking about all of us working on the front line in the local care homes and hospitals during this challenging time.
