A wonderful chocolate hamper received today with a lovely thank you message to all our staff at Heeley Bank Care Home. 

Massive congratulations to Pam who has worked at Howgate House for 13 years and her husband Ian on their 30th wedding anniversary. We hope our hamper goes a little way to making up for the cruise they should have been going on.

Much love and good wishes from staff and residents.

Thank you to the children at Busy Bees Nursery for sending some fabulous drawings to our residents. It has certainly made us all smile and the residents love looking at the wonderful creations. 

Dear Sandra and the Hope Green team

We just wanted to let you know how much we appreciated all you will be doing for all the residents  in your care at this especially challenging time.

It must be worrying for you  ( as it is for everyone).

Thank you so much to Hanson school who have kindly made and donated face visors to Howgate House .

Hanson School have manufactured and distributed over 4000 visors to NHS, Hospitals, Care Homes, Surgeries, Ambulance Services, Pharmacies and WYP to support and protect the community. Massive thank you to all the team at Hanson School. 

A huge thank you to our local Tesco, Slough Community Volunteer Service and One Slough Community Response Team for the donations and delivery of Easter eggs for everyone in the home. We were overwhelmed by your generosity and all of our residents and staff really appreciated this gesture.

Staff at Windmill Care Centre enjoyed a welcome break of delicious homemade cake along with a calming cup of tea thanks to the generosity of one of our local neighbours. This lovely treat was dropped off on Friday to thank everyone for all their hard work and care at this busy time.

The cake was lovely and greatly enjoyed by the staff on duty. Support from our local community has been fantastic during these uncertain times and we want to thank you all from everyone at Windmill.

Easter was celebrated with residents coming together to listen to the Easter service live streamed from St Margarets Church, Ilkley. In the afternoon we had a prize quiz and afternoon tea, which was enjoyed by all. 

Some of our residents were able to speak to family via face time or telephone and also posted Easter cards they had created. 

Residents at Troutbeck Care Home in Ilkley enjoyed making paper flowers to create an indoor garden area, these proved to be very popular. We used them to make a lovey Easter display that residents could enjoy in the garden room.

We had  a surprise visit  from the lovely people from the Ummah Welfare Trust a fabulous charity. They have kindly delivered additional PPE supplies  to the staff at Howgate House. This is fantastic initiative from this charity and we would like to say a massive thank you to Adam and his team for supporting the care home sector and for the masks and gloves.
