Today we tried out a new game called 'That was the year, that was' answering questions from 60s,70s and 80s there was lots of laughter playing this game 😄

Rosie, our therapy dog from essex pet therapy and her owner Tammie, came by and brought so much warmth and joy to everyone's afternoon. Her calming presence and gentle snuggles were just what we needed, she was spoilt by everyone with treats 🐕💜

Celebrating World Photography Day at Aria Care.

Earlier this year, we launched a photography competition across our homes to capture the heartfelt moments of joy, love, and care that make our communities so special.

The winning photograph, taken at Albany Lodge, was chosen by our Media Producer, Marcus Gilbert. Today, Marcus visited the home to present the team with their prize – a brand-new Canon camera and a photography workshop – so they can continue to capture and share the many special moments that happen at Albany Lodge every day.

Home Manager Sarah shared:

"We’re so excited to have won the grand prize. This camera will help us showcase even more of the heartfelt moments in our home, and we’re grateful to Aria for giving us this opportunity. Our photos will now look more beautiful than ever when we share them with our community."

We can’t wait to see the wonderful memories Albany Lodge captures next! 🌟

(Other photos show Oluchi, Activities Lead, already putting the new camera to good use!)

As care needs change, knowing the right support is in place can bring real peace of mind.

Residential care offers help with everyday living; things like preparing meals, personal care, and companionship. It’s about creating a safe, supportive home where people can feel comfortable and connected.

Nursing care provides all of this, with the added reassurance of round the clock medical support from qualified nurses. It’s there for those who need a little more support, whether due to complex health conditions or changing needs.

At Aria Care, we offer both, so your loved one’s care can evolve as their needs do. No upheaval, just continuity, compassion, and the right level of support at every stage.

Every dementia journey is deeply personal.

Behind every dementia diagnosis – whether it's Alzheimer’s, vascular dementia, or less common types like Lewy bodies, or frontotemporal dementia – is a unique individual with a lifetime of memories, relationships, and experiences.

At Aria Care, we don’t just see the condition, we see the person. We take the time to listen to each resident’s story, understand their needs, and provide care that’s built on empathy, calm, and dignity. We care from the heart.

Through structured routines and memory-enhancing environments, we help bring moments of connection, comfort, and joy to those living with dementia, and to the families who love them.

Everyone’s story matters to us, and we believe every person deserves to feel seen, supported, and safe.

“Am I doing the right thing?”

It’s a question so many families ask when looking for care for a loved one. There’s uncertainty, there’s guilt, and an overwhelming desire to get it right.

At Aria Care, we’ve supported hundreds of families through these feelings, and we understand how deeply emotional they can be.

That’s why we don’t just offer care options.

We offer guidance, reassurance, and a human voice on the end of the phone or in any of our homes who truly listens.

Whether you’re preparing for the future or responding to a sudden change in circumstances, our compassionate teams are here to help you navigate it all, with practical advice and genuine heart.

We provide:
✔️ Residential & Nursing Care
✔️ Dementia Support
✔️ Respite Breaks & Convalescent Stays
✔️ Palliative & End-of-Life Care
✔️ Day Support Services

Finding the right care isn’t just a checklist, it’s a journey, but you don’t have to travel alone.

What turns a care home into home?

It’s not just bricks, beds, or beautiful lounges - it’s the feeling you get when someone remembers how you like your tea. When a favourite song plays over lunch and suddenly you’re seventeen again. It’s laughter coming in from the garden, the smell of fresh scones baking, and the gentle comfort of being known.

At Aria Care, we believe that the best care is all about connection.

Every day, our teams go beyond providing support: they build relationships. From our personalised care plans and warm, home-cooked meals, to thoughtful activities that spark joy and memories, we make sure each resident feels not just cared for, but truly seen.

Everyone belongs here, and everyone deserves to keep living with dignity, purpose, and love - in a place that really feels like home.

Successful launch of eMAR in our homes!

We are delighted to share that our transition to Electronic Medication Administration Records (eMAR) is well underway. We first went live in Scoonie House, and following this success, we have now also gone live in Strathview and Oak Manor.

Throughout this process, each home has been supported by our Quality Team, ensuring colleagues felt confident and prepared to make the change. While there was some initial nervousness, the feedback from teams has been extremely positive, with colleagues quickly getting to grips with the new system and recognising the benefits it brings.

The eMAR system (Camascope) replaces paper-based records with a safe, digital platform. It provides clear, real time information on every resident’s medication, prompts timely administration, and reduces the risk of errors such as missed or duplicate doses. It also creates a full, easily auditable history of medication management, which supports improved compliance and oversight. Most importantly, it gives colleagues more time to focus on delivering high quality care rather than paperwork.

We have also found the online support from Boots to be extremely helpful during this transition, providing additional reassurance and guidance when needed.

We are incredibly proud of the teams at Scoonie House, Strathview, and Oak Manor for embracing this change so positively. Their commitment sets the tone for the rest of our homes, and we are excited for all homes to go live in the coming months.

Thank you to everyone involved in making this a success - your hard work is making a real difference.
