February brought plenty of lovely moments across our homes but here’s a little hint at what we’ve been celebrating this month: 🧧🐉 | 🥞 | 🐶🐱 | 💗

From Valentine’s celebrations and pancake making for Shrove Tuesday, to learning about Chinese New Year and enjoying visits from some very special furry friends, it’s been another month full of smiles, creativity and time spent together.

Across our 46 homes, these everyday moments are what make each community so special. They’re made possible by the kindness, energy and dedication of our incredible teams, who work so hard to create meaningful experiences for residents 💜👏

Here’s a small snapshot of life across Gold Care Homes this month 📸

Today at The New Deanery Care Home we were proud to welcome the incredible team from Training2Care to deliver their powerful and inspiring dementia awareness training to our staff 💟

Training 2 Care UK Ltd are known worldwide for their scientifically and medically proven approach, designed to give those with a healthy brain a realistic insight into what living with dementia may feel like. Through immersive, hands on experiences, our team were able to step into the world of someone living with dementia, gaining a deeper understanding of the sensory, emotional, and environmental challenges they may face each day

This innovative method goes beyond theory. It encourages reflection, empathy, and practical change, helping care professionals understand the small but meaningful adjustments that can be made to daily practice and surroundings to truly enhance the lives of people living with dementia

We are so grateful to the Training 2 Care UK Ltd team for sharing their knowledge and passion with us. Investing in this kind of learning ensures we continue to provide compassionate, person centred care that makes a real difference to our residents and their families 🥰

In a world that can always use more compassion, Random Acts of Kindness Day is a meaningful reminder of how small actions can make a big difference. In 2026, Random Acts of Kindness Day is celebrated on February 17, inviting people everywhere to spread kindness through simple, unexpected gestures.

Our dedicated team The New Deanery Care Home and St Mary's Court Care Home set out with bags full of goodies, for a few carefully selected people in our local area thanks to Rev. Rod Reid St. Mary's Church, Bocking ❤️

The smiles were so heartwarming it reminded us how lucky we are to be part of such a special and friendly community 🥰🥰

We know that delivering high-quality care extends beyond the walls of our home. Strong professional partnerships within our local communities are essential to ensuring families receive well-rounded, informed support when they need it most 💜

Our Customer Relations Manager, Gerald, recently attended a networking event at Braintree Town Hall, organised by Holmes & Hills Solicitors.

It was a great opportunity to step away from the day-to-day and spend time connecting with other local professionals who all share the same goal: to support families across our local community.

Thank you to Holmes & Hills for hosting, and it was lovely to connect with Home Instead Braintree, Sudbury & Colne Valley, Lambert Chapman LLP and others on the day.

We’re proud to be part of such a supportive local network 💜

Who doesn’t love bowling? We set our for an afternoon adventure with our lovely residents accompanied by our staff for a fun filled day at NAMCO Funscape Braintree !🎳

Our residents were getting their competitive side ready and prepared as they showed fantastic skill, enthusiasm and determination on the lane. We had a fantastic afternoon of bowling filled with friendly competition, laughter and team spirit, and plenty of strikes. Residents embraced the challenge, showed great sportsmanship, and enjoyed every moment of the experience, creating special memories together! 🎳🥇

We do active activities like this to build confidence, social interaction and encourage friendly competition in a fun and supportive environment. This trip gave residents the opportunity to stay active, strengthen friendship and showcase their enthusiasm while enjoying a well- deserved afternoon out! 💟

We would like to say a huge thank you to Healthwatch Essex for our amazing new slippers 🥿 ❤️
Our lovely residents took part in a free slipper event at The New Deanery care home where they got to unbox and even try on the slippers as a fun and enjoyable event!

Something as simple as well-fitting slippers can help reduce the risk of falls, keep feet warm, and give residents greater confidence when moving around their home. Most importantly, it brings a little extra comfort to everyday life.
The purpose of this event was to provide safe and comfortable new slippers for our residents. Residents were also given a chance to speak to the wonderful information and guidance service as well as the carers voices team! 💟

Seeing the smiles and hearing how much they’re appreciated reminds us that wellbeing is often found in the small details. Thank you for inviting us to be part of this wonderful project, our residents are over the moon 😍
