Sneaky peak into the collaborative work between our catering team and reception teams. This has been a few months in the making. We now have a complete collection of The Fleet Dining Options.

Mags, Tim & Laigu have created a 4 week menu based on plenty of meetings and feedback forms. Each day for a month the meals would be photographed by our receptionists and then developed into a visual guide with description to be available on each floor.

Nutrition and Hydration are key to good health & healing. It's vital that we give our ladies and gents the best chances we can to provide meals they will enjoy. Having a photograph of a meal in front of them can help them make better informed choices of what they would like for the day.

Today was the first day the files were distributed to each of our communities of Drake, Nelson, Ramsay & MacBride.

This morning Team Leader Wasana proudly used the visual guides to collate menu orders for the lunch and supper service today.

Feedback was it was an instant hit with Ann commenting 'Sometimes I am not familiar with what dishes are, this shows me a picture and it's easy to pick what I prefer the look of'

Whilst waiting for the mornings Chairobics class with Yvonne, our ladies on MacBride enjoyed some themed colouring in sheets. Pictures about Guy Fawkes Night and images to get us thinking about Remembrance day.

Was wonderful to enjoy some mindfulness whilst having meaningful conversations about each other and discovering new things.

We have a great Activities team that provide a monthly schedule but we are also delighted to enjoy ad-hoc and last minute activities to enjoy together. Could be a quiz, poetry reading session or a sing along!

Halloween has been and gone... Christmas preparations are on the go!

We have a home filled with some wonderful singers and we would love to host a concert of some description where we welcome friends & family members in and all singing together.

Some magical moments shared today between our ladies & gents and the children of HDC Dartmouth

The children braved the horrible weather to join us for some Halloween fun. This consisted of some Trick or Treating around Drake Community, some spooky Hook a Duck and then we all enjoyed a visit from Wizzard the European Eagle Owl and Pete

We had some fabulous visitors this afternoon from Humpty Dumpty Dartmouth and a visit from Wizard the European Eagle Owl from Totnes Rare Breeds farm in Totnes!

Kitty & Amy set up some safe and fun Trick or Treating around Drake community. Our ladies & gents loved seeing all the children come knocking at their doors and were only too thrilled to hand out a variety of sweets.

Once the children's bags were filled with sweets, Wizzard (and the wonderful Pete) were waiting in The Cove as a surprise!

Many thanks to the team at HDC Dartmouth for making todays trip possible, it's always a delight to welcome out besties over for some fun!

Kick starting Halloween with some bingo. This of course was accompanied by hot drinks & cake.

Our ladies & gents sure embrace our creative ideas and we're only too happy to sport some witch/wizzard hats for our Harry Potter themed Halloween..

More fun planned for the rest of the day 🎃👻🧙🧹

We would really like to thank the gentleman who dropped off a huge batch of apples to us yesterday. Sadly no name was left but we really appreciate the kindness shown 🥰🥰

These will be used for a variety of desserts and condiments for our ladies & gents to enjoy!

As it approaches 8pm our day staff are winding down and we welcome a fresh faced night staff team.

Today has been filled with reminiscing, a coffee morning, a knit & natter group, delicious meals and afternoon cake! All while our night staff sleep in preparation for their shift tonight.

Nights will start with an in-depth handover from the day staff. They will then carry out personal care tasks, make cups of hot drinks for those ladies and gents who are fellow night owls. Enjoy many conversations with others. As people eventually settle into bed and drift off to sleep our team can carry out some cleaning of the larger communal areas.

Our ladies and gents have their preferences of night time routines.. If someone would like a bath at 11pm and a sandwich at midnight that is absolutely up to them and the team are only too happy to assist.

Here are some photos of a few of tonight night shift.. We really appreciate you! 🥰🥰

Music has many benefits for mental health by reducing stress and anxiety. It has the ability to improve mood and help with emotional expression. We use tambourines at The Fleet to allow this freedom. Music helps with focus and memory as people recall songs they used to love and enjoy.

Over the last week we have welcomed Luc Walpot a local harpist, Patrick Jervis and Juke Box Duo!

Yesterday had a wonderful turn out for the community Knit & Natter. The ladies were proudly showing off some of their completed items that will be sent off to hospital for the newborns 🥰

Today's Chairobics hosted by Yvonne had everyone energised. It's important to keep active. If we don't use it, we run the risk of losing it 🥰

This afternoon we were treated to a performance from Tim on his keyboard playing popular songs across the decades for everyone to sing along too.

Many thanks to our activities of Amy, Gareth & Kitty who ensure each day is filled with something stimulating for our ladies & gents to participate in.
