VE Day 'Lockdown' Celebrations

The 75th anniversary of VE Day was celebrated in style in all of our homes. Lockdown meant that we couldn’t invite friends and family to join the festivities but that didn’t stop everyone enjoying the day - particularly the sunshine.

Happy Dining at Kirkwood

Residents at Kirkwood are enchanted by the beautifully decorated Dining room with dementia friendly bright but calming colours & pictures and a new family wall including art work from the residents themselves. Families and friends are always welcome to come and dine with their loved ones, food is such an important part of life! Home cooked, delicious meals made from locally sourced ingredients served in gorgeous surroundings - what more could anyone wish for?

Embroidery classes keep our residents busy

Residents at The Gatehouse are getting involved in embroidery classes and enjoying a chat with friends. There’s always something to keep everyone busy in our homes!

As well as Residential Care we offer Day Care for people who would like a bit of company and some home cooked food.

Happy Valentine's Day

Our residents have enjoyed a little romance today with all of our homes taking the time to celebrate Valentine’s day. Roses and sweet treats brought a smile to lots of faces reminding us that you’re never too old for a little romance…

Kirkwood Celebrates Long Serving Carers

We are saying a big thank-you this month to Paul and Jackie who have been looking after the residents at Kirkwood for 15 years! Their commitment and dedication are an inspiration to us all. They were personally thanked by the directors who presented them with a gift and flowers as a gesture of our appreciation.

Santa makes an appearance in Catterick

It was Christmas Party time at Hillcrest on Saturday 7th December. Residents were wowed by the visiting pantomime and there was food drink and festivities all round! Father Christmas was even good enough to spend some time with us, making it a lovely day for all the family.

Dining in Style at Hillcrest

Everyone at Hillcrest is very excited about the beautiful new Greek themed dining room. The bright colours and fabulous accessories make mealtimes even more enjoyable in our Catterick Home.

Hillcrest helps Hero to Remember

A resident who served his country and even worked in the very building in which he now lives when it was an Army building was entertained by The British Legion yesterday as a guest of honour.

Staff at the home helped him to dress up for the occasion - for many years he played a big part in organising parades and remembrance events in Catterick.
