Mental wellbeing doesn’t suddenly stop mattering as we get older, but conversations about it often do.

Loneliness, big life changes, and quieter days can take a real toll, especially when people feel they should “just get on with it”.

A short stay can make a big difference. 💙

When Graham stayed in an MHA care home, it felt like a home from home, giving him great care and giving his wife, Dianne, peace of mind.

With our 3-for-2 respite offer, you can enjoy three weeks for the price of two at selected MHA care homes. More time to relax, recharge and feel supported.

You can read Graham and Dianne's story at https://bit.ly/3Mmgh3j.

For more information about our 3-for-2 respite offer, visit: https://bit.ly/4oh6fO6 or give us a call on 0345 125 8973.

After nearly 30 years together, Graham and Dianne found peace of mind and warmth at The Fairways, where care, friendship and laughter brighten each day.

Celebrating both our 20th birthday and 11 staff's long service - a total of 165 years between them!

We held a special party with residents, relatives, friends, staff, volunteers and Julie Murphy, Mayor of Highworth, who presented the long service awards to staff, five of whom have been here since it opened 20 years ago!

Entertainment was provided by John Travasso and we finished the evening with fireworks. Here's to another 20 years of care, love and laughter at Fitzwarren House. 🥳🎉🎂
