Friary Care staff have had an ink-credible day getting tattoos!

Friary Care staff wanted to show their support to the Friary Care company by gettng tattoos emblazoned with the company logo ...and also bees! We got matching themed tattoos as a 'work family' to really show how we are truly committed to each other, but most of all our residents!

The sentiment 'stand tall, stand proud, be you, be kind' paired with the Bee Happy theme is perfect - it's meaningful, positive, and clearly reflects the importance of the culture we have built within Friary Care.

We're all very much ink-clined as a team to say an absolute massive thank you to Terry & Lowri for being our tattooists, and Alana Sanders for designing the tattoo that was un-bee-lievable! 🐝🐝🐝

All in all, we have all had such a brilliant (and 'bzzzy'!) day making our bonds permanent with such a heartfelt display of solidarity!

Friary Care has had an un-fur-gettable time celebrating National Pet Day!

Friary Care has celebrated National Pet Day in style with residents, family, and staff! We all brought along photos of our amazing pets, past and present, and this gave us all a lovely chance to 'paws' and reminiscence about how much they truly mean to us.

The highlight of the day was the arrival of Eddie, a very friendly and very clever golden retriever whose wagging tail brought a smile to everyone's faces. No one could resist giving a pat on the head to the most 'good boy' there is. Eddie brought us all so much joy and happiness to the home - we even had some residents asking if could stay as the home's dog!

We all had such an amazing day celebrating National Pet Day and it truly reminded us of the lifelong impact our pets have on our hearts.

A very happy Easter from everyone at Friary Care!

Friary Care residents have had such a fun-packed Easter this year and this has all started with the wonderful Danny Jukebox! Danny has provided some amazing singing, cracked us up with some really bunny jokes, and really started our Easter eggs-travaganza off with a bang! We've definitely been having a boogie and been asking ourselves "shell we dance?".

We've also been busy making some truly eggs-cellent decorations with our amazing art lady Sarah Jane! Our talented residents have been making some eggs-ceptional art work such as colourful chickens, eggs, and drawings of all types to adorn the home!

We've also had lots of visitors to the home, with family, friends, and and also a very friendly bunnie (who may or may not be in an inflatable costume!). Fur-tunately for us this bunny has hopped over to us all here at Friary to wish us all a very happy Easter! We've had so many laughs, there's been so many smiles on the faces of all of our residents - but also on the faces of our residents' families!

But the eggs-citement doesn't stop there as we have had more fun and games for our residents including an 'egg lucky dip' and also Easter baskets (full of choccie!) made with love from our staff to each of our residents. And to top it all off we're planning on having a few glasses of wine, a lovely Easter roast dinner, and then listening to some of our residents' favourite tunes.

All in all, there has been so much joy and laughter this year at the home, and for that reason we’d like to wish everyone a very happy Easter! And we'd also just like to say we’re all very much looking forward to having a super splendid Springtime here at Friary Care!

We here at Friary Care are celebrating Mothering Sunday in our own way by celebrating Ladies Day!

Instead of just mothers we want to celebrate all the amazing women in our lives. So to all the Mothers, Grandmothers, Grandmas, Grans, Nanas, Nans, Step Mums, Sisters, Aunties, Daughters, or just really good friends - Happy Ladies Day!

So let's give our ladies a treat! Our residents at Friary Care are going to be celebrating by enjoying the day with loved ones of all generations, but also by sitting back and relaxing to the musical talents of Olivia! Olivia will be providing some outstanding tunes whilst our residents enjoy a well-earned glass of fizz - followed by a delicious roast dinner with all the trimmings! It really is going to be an amazing day - so sit back and enjoy ladies!

All the residents and staff wish all the ladies of the world an amazing day filled with love, laughter, and lots of smiles.

Appreciating our Friary Care family on Employee Appreciation Day!

We here at Friary Care are so appreciative, thankful, and proud of our amazing staff. They do so much in so many ways: big, small, and always putting others first.

We here at Friary Care like to treat our staff everyday and in general, but in order to really show our appreciation for Employee Appreciation Day we want to provide an extra special treat! Today, our Friary Care Director, Mr Peter Fry, along with managers are providing all staff with a heartfelt bag and a card and chocolates expressing just how much they truly mean to us. To top it off staff, residents, and residents' families were treated to a lovely chip shop lunch.

On any, and every, day it's crucial that Friary Care staff know how vital they are to us, and today we just want to remind them how wanted, valued, and more importantly, appreciated, they are, here at Friary Care. You guys are truly amazing and we are so proud to work with you.

💜🌈🍾🥂🐝🥰🦋🐈‍⬛🙌

What a truly heart-warming Christmas dinner party spent with our wonderful residents and their families 🎄✨
The afternoon was filled with festive cheer as everyone came together to enjoy a delicious three-course meal, lovely music, plenty of laughter, and so many special moments shared around the table.

It was so special to see residents surrounded by their loved ones, smiling, chatting, and soaking in the joy of the season. The room was full of happiness, warmth, and togetherness, and we ended the celebration in the most perfect way by singing Christmas carols together 🎶❤️

A huge thank you to our staff for all the hard work, care, and dedication that went into making the day so special, and to our families for joining us and sharing such a meaningful celebration with us.

Days like today remind us how important these moments are — creating memories and celebrating Christmas as one big community. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make this day so memorable. 🎄✨

Ho ho ho! What a wonderful time of year to enjoy a Christmas party with family and friends, here at Friary House !

Once again we have had a day to remember, Christmas 2025 truly has happened with a bang! Our Christmas lunch party cooked by our carers, for all of the Friary House residents and their families, was absolutely delicious, and some really beautiful memories were made by all.

We would like to thank St. Aldhelm's once again for letting us hire out their hall and we would also like to thank Connie Lee Cline for performing an amazing fun pack afternoon. The music and singing and dancing definitely got us all in the mood we all felt the need to get up and have a Friary Care party!

All in all, an incredible time was had by all. It truly was a time for all our residents and their families to sit back, let the good times roll, and most of all be merry!

On behalf of all of us at Friary Care we hope you had a Merry Christmas and wish you all a Happy New Year!
🧑‍🎄💙🥰💜🎄🦋🙌🐝🌈🫶🍾🥂

Christmas has come early at Friary Care!

Friary Care today wanted to share a fun afternoon with our amazing residents and their families. Residents’ children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren had a beautiful pre-Christmas party together!

We also had the fabulous Smartie Pants come in to the home to entertain us. We had balloon-making, singing, magical cake-making, and lots of dancing!

Overall Friary House residents had an absolutely amazing time. We had lots of amazing food, lots of laughs, and also a very lovely goodie bag full of lots of goodies!

We so very much enjoyed Saturday afternoon making memories that will last a lifetime!
