📯 Armistice Day Memory Cafe at Hastings Court

Today at Hastings Court we joined the nation in honouring Armistice Day with a heartfelt two-minute silence, reflecting together on the bravery, sacrifice, and service of those who have given so much. 🌺

This afternoon, we were also proud to host our very first Dementia/Memory Café. Families, residents, and members of the community came together to enjoy a range of themed activities designed to support connection, conversation, and reminiscence.

It was a warm and supportive space for those living with dementia and for the people who care for them — a chance to share, learn, and feel understood. 💛

Thank you to everyone who joined us on this meaningful day.

🇬🇧 A Special Outing to Honour Our Veterans 🇬🇧

This week, we had the privilege of taking our veteran residents to for a well-deserved pub lunch as a heartfelt thank-you for their service. ❤️

Our residents enjoyed great food, wonderful company, and the warm welcome from the team. We were also proud to purchase some of their limited-edition poppy glasses, beautifully designed by veterans themselves — a meaningful keepsake that helps support an important cause.

A huge thank-you to everyone who made the day so memorable. 🌺
Lest we forget.

🎃 Halloween at Hastings Court Care Home! 👻

We decorated within an inch of our lives, painted pumpkins, met a few monsters, and had the most amazing evening trick-or-treating with local children! 🧙‍♀️✨

It was a night full of laughter, spooky fun, and heart-warming moments shared between generations. 💜

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this beautiful evening of scary silliness!

We also awarded our BOO BASKET to our amazing bank hairdresser Louise!

🎃 Intergenerational Halloween Fun at Hastings Court! 👻

This week, our residents enjoyed a spooktacular morning of creativity as they teamed up with local children for a fun-filled Halloween craft session! 🧡✂️🎨

Together, they made spooky decorations, crafted their own magic wands, and shared plenty of laughter. 🍬✨

These intergenerational sessions are always so special — they bring joy, energy, and connection to our residents while giving the children a chance to learn, listen, and form meaningful bonds across generations. 💕

Seeing the smiles, hearing the stories, and watching everyone work together truly reminds us of the magic that happens when young and old come together. 🌟

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and made the morning so memorable! 🕷️🎨

🌟 Meet the Team Tuesday! 🌟

After many years working front of house and in events, I realised the certain way I have with people could be better utilised by working with those that would benefit from it more. I feel extremely lucky to be able to finish a day at work knowing I have truly made a difference to people's lives.

I started working with Oakland Care coming up to three years ago... 3 years that I have thoroughly enjoyed.

I am part of the lifestyles team, so I get to build a relationship and trust with every resident, helping them form new friendships, try new things and gain confidence in an environment many can find difficult to adjust to. It is an honour to have this responsibility and to see residents engage and hear them giggle is just magical!

If you have been lucky enough to be part of Hastings Court in any way, then you will understand when I say there really is nowhere else like it. You truly feel welcome and relaxed from the moment you enter the door. Everyone at Hastings Court should be proud of the vibe and community atmosphere they all contribute to, making it a joyous place for residents, their family and friends, and staff alike.

🌟 Come As You Are Day 🌟

In recognition of ADHD Awareness Month, our team embraced Come As You Are Day today — a celebration of comfort, self-expression, and authenticity! 💛

Staff came to work dressed in whatever made them feel most like themselves — whether it was their favourite outfit, colour, fabric, or something that reflected their personality and how they feel on the inside.

It was a wonderful reminder that we’re all unique, and that embracing individuality helps create a workplace where everyone feels seen, supported, and valued. 💫
