✨ Great British Care Awards Night! ✨
We’re so proud to share that we had two members of our team make it to the regional finals of the Great British Care Awards! 🙌

A huge congratulations to Amy Brown and Nina Sackree for being nominated, an incredible achievement in itself. ⭐️ Although we didn’t take home the win this time, we couldn’t be prouder of you both and the dedication you show every single day.

It was a fantastic evening celebrating excellence in care and sharing a table with our fellow Exemplar homes – Tyne Grange and Tees Grange.

Here’s to continuing to make a difference and supporting the amazing work happening across our homes. 🥂

🎱 New Pool & Table Tennis Combo in the Hub! 🏓

Our brand-new games table has already become a big hit! It transforms from a pool table into table tennis in seconds, and our residents wasted no time getting stuck in.

It’s been brilliant seeing everyone enjoying some relaxed social time in the hub, with plenty of laughter (and a bit of healthy competition!). Even the staff are getting competitive…😁

Here’s to more fun, connection, and friendly rivalry! 🙌

We celebrated with fun moustaches, pie, peas and a pint, a photo Wall of Appreciation, and even a visit from a Turkish barber for hot towel shaves and fresh haircuts.

A great day honouring the amazing men in our home!

Our wonderful Healthcare Assistant got involved in a lovely pamper session with one of our service users this week. He helped her choose a nail colour and even painted her nails for her! 💖

🎭Miss Saigon at the Theatre Royal 🎭

We took a trip to the Theatre Royal in Newcastle to see Miss Saigon and it was an absolutely unforgettable evening for our resident who loves his musicals!

The show was incredible, and it was wonderful to see such joy and excitement throughout the night ✨ This is also a huge step into the community and social settings where confidence and life skills are continually gained.

We are already counting down to our next theatre trip to see Mary Poppins at the end of the month 🤩
