What a truly wonderful afternoon we shared with our residents, staff, and relatives as we came together to create beautiful resin crafts.
It was our very first time working with resin, and we are so incredibly thankful to our resident’s wife, Sally, for her guidance and support throughout. Her help made all the difference and gave everyone the confidence to try something new.
The joy in the room was simply heartwarming. Watching our residents carefully create special gifts for their loved ones was such a pleasure, and seeing the smiles on everyone’s faces made the afternoon even more meaningful.
This is definitely an activity we will be doing again — so many special moments were made and memories created together

It’s been a few months now since baby Eddie arrived, and we realised we haven’t properly said how wonderfully Maria is doing and how proud we are of you 💛
Eddie is such a joy! The photos have been absolutely gorgeous — such a little cutie — and it’s so lovely to see how much he’s adored by his big brother Dominic. They already make the sweetest pair.
It makes us so happy seeing you all looking so content, and we wish you every bit of joy in this special new chapter.
That said… we do miss you, Maria! ☕🍰 Remember you’re always welcome for coffee and cake — and we have plenty of willing babysitters on standby whenever you fancy a little break!
Lots of love 💕

Depperhaugh would like to wish our resident Susan a very lovely birthday! She celebrated her special day surrounded by many visitors and enjoyed a beautiful cake made by our chef Nimani, which she was delighted to share with residents at teatime. Susan absolutely loved blowing out the candles and having a real fuss made of her — just as she deserves. It was a wonderful celebration filled with smiles and joy!

We are incredibly proud of Kesha and everything she has achieved.
When Kesha first came to the UK, she joined us at Depperhaugh as a support worker, bringing with her valuable experience as a qualified nurse from Sri Lanka. From the very beginning, she had a clear goal — to become a Registered Nurse in the UK. Through determination, resilience, and unwavering commitment, she worked tirelessly to complete all of the required English exams and professional requirements needed to fulfil her dream.
Balancing full-time work while being a devoted wife and mum is no small task, yet Kesha managed it all with grace and dedication. Her hard work, perseverance, and passion for nursing have truly paid off.
We are absolutely delighted to welcome Kesha as one of our Registered Nurses at Depperhaugh. You truly deserve everything you have achieved and all the happiness that comes with it.
Well done, Kesha — we are so very proud of you.

Residents and staff thoroughly enjoyed taking part in our Valentine’s cookery class this week. Together, everyone had a wonderful time making “Queen of Hearts” jam tarts, filling the room with laughter, delicious aromas and plenty of creativity.

It was lovely to see such fantastic engagement from our residents.

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Jackie, daughter of our dearly missed and cherished resident, Heather Sorrell.

Jackie has generously created and hand-made the most beautiful stained glass flowers for our garden in memory of her mum. This thoughtful and creative gift means so much to us all. The flowers will hold a special place in our garden, where we will see them each day and lovingly remember Heather.

Heather was a treasured part of our community, and through these stunning stained glass flowers, her memory will continue to shine brightly among us.

Jackie, we truly appreciate your kindness, talent, and the love that went into creating such a meaningful tribute. Thank you for sharing this beautiful gift with us.

While many people celebrated Valentine’s Day with their loved ones, our dedicated staff were here caring for our residents.

We recognize the commitment it takes to work on a day that is traditionally spent with family and friends, and we are truly grateful for their kindness and professionalism.

To show our thanks and appreciation, we shared a rose with each member of our team and with our residents — a small gesture to express our gratitude, respect, and love for the wonderful community we are proud to be part of.

We enjoyed a truly lovely morning with residents from Depperhaugh Nursing Home, who took part in some retail therapy despite the gloomy January weather.

Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their time shopping, which was followed by a very warm and generous welcome from the new owners of the The Park Hotel 💜

The hospitality was exceptional and made all of our residents feel relaxed, valued, and genuinely welcome.

It was a wonderful way to spend the morning, and the experience was greatly appreciated by all involved! 🥳✨

Residents came together with the lovely ladies from Station 366 for an afternoon filled with singing and dancing.

It was such a special occasion as everyone joined in the music — and a true highlight of the day was when Phyliss joined the singing group to perform one of her favourite numbers 😍🎶

It brought tears to our eyes to see the pure joy on everyone’s faces as we sang and danced together, and to take a quiet moment to remember those we honour on 💜
