We had a fantastic afternoon at Ashfield when Gfitness came to visit for an exercise session at Wickham House Care Home 💜

Dean got everyone moving with some gentle bending and stretching, and there was a really lovely energy in the room as our wonderful residents joined in at their own pace. What mattered most was that everyone was smiling, having a go, and enjoying themselves rather than taking it too seriously 😊

There was plenty of encouragement, a bit of laughter along the way, and a real sense of togetherness as everyone took part. By the end of the session, it was clear how much it had lifted the mood all round.

Our residents were already saying they would love to see Dean back again soon, and we could not agree more. What a lovely way to spend the afternoon 💜

After all that fun, we sat down to a delicious afternoon tea with strawberries and cream and a tempting spread of cakes. There were lots of happy faces and empty plates by the end 💜

March has been a truly special month across our homes, filled with meaningful celebrations and shared experiences that have brought residents and teams together ✨

From raising awareness during Nutrition and Hydration Week to enjoying the energy and fun of St Patrick’s Day, there has been something for everyone to take part in.

Life across our 46 homes is shaped by these moments, both big and small. They create a sense of belonging, spark conversation, and bring joy to everyday life, making each home a vibrant and supportive place to live 🏡💜

Behind every celebration is the dedication and care of our incredible teams, whose passion continues to create engaging and meaningful experiences for our residents 👏💜

This Easter weekend at Wickham House Care Home was filled with warmth, kindness, and plenty of delicious treats as we came together to celebrate in the most joyful way. From Good Friday through to Easter Sunday, every moment was thoughtfully shared among residents and staff, creating memories to treasure 🐣

On Good Friday, the day began with the simple pleasure of enjoying traditional hot cross buns together, bringing comfort and a sense of familiarity to everyone gathered. It was a lovely way to start the Easter celebrations, with smiles shared over something so timeless and meaningful🥙

In the lead up to Easter Sunday, residents and staff worked together to decorate a beautiful trolley using their handmade Easter crafts, carefully adding colourful touches and chocolate eggs ready to be gifted. The excitement built as the trolley came together, and everyone was so proud of how fantastic it looked 🎨

Easter Sunday itself brought even more joy as we were delighted to welcome Skyla and Ann from Essex Therapy Dogs , who joined us to help deliver Easter eggs to our residents. Their visit added an extra layer of warmth and companionship to the day, making the celebrations even more special for everyone involved🐾

Val, Hazel and our very own 'Pink Ladies' enjoyed a lovely ladies' lunch at the Duke of Wellington Hatfield Peverel 🍽️

There was plenty of laughter as they shared stories and reminisced about trips to their favourite local pubs with family and friends. Safe to say, good food and great company never go out of style! 🍷🥂

We love getting out and about on day trips like this, giving our wonderful residents the chance to enjoy familiar places while also supporting our wonderful local businesses. We all agreed the staff were very friendly, and it’s definitely somewhere we’d love to visit again!

We were thrilled to be able to arrange a “Gents Day Out” here at Wickham House Care Home and took a trip to the amazing Museum of Power in . Our wonderful residents, Ron and Peter, were overjoyed to be joined by their sons as we toured the amazing and fascinating exhibits the museum had to offer.

Our resident Barry was amazed to see an old Re*****on Typewriter as he was a typewriter engineer by trade and he then recounted a story about the time he had to rescue a lady who got her fingers stuck between the keys, which made us laugh. We then took the opportunity to enjoy a lovely lunch in the onsite restaurant.

Thank you to the Museum of Power staff who made us very welcome and a truly special day for all of us.
