We had a lovely afternoon trip to Pittville Park yesterday, and had hot drinks by the pump room. The weather held out for us and it was lovely to relax in beautiful scenery 🦆🌲🌳

🍰 The Signature Cake Off is back! 🎉

At Caring Homes, we don’t just care for our residents, we bake joy into every day! We're excited to announce the launch of our 2025 Signature Cake Off Competition; a much-loved event that brings together our talented chefs, team members and residents to create a showstopping cake for our cherished ‘High Tea at 3’ experience. ☕

Last year’s winner, a delicious Courgette & Lemon Cake from Horsell Lodge Care Home's own Chef Gavin Speller, which now takes pride of place on our weekly High Tea Trolley and it’s safe to say our residents are still talking about it! 💛

This year, the competition is back and bigger than ever. Teams from across the country will soon be whisking, folding and icing their way to the finals, where a resident-inspired creation will be crowned our new signature cake.

We can’t wait to see the creativity, passion and teamwork that this competition inspires and most importantly, to celebrate the joy these bakes bring to the residents we care for.

🧁 Stay tuned as we share updates (and maybe a few sneak peeks) in the lead-up to the grand final Bake Off in September!

Today is International Moon Day 🌙

We went on an armchair travel to space, it was a lot of fun and we learned some interesting facts 🪐

We took a rocket up to the moon where we explored the landscape, before watching such a fascinating video on how astronaughts live on the International Space Station. We travelled to the planets in our solar system and looked at size comparisons of different celestial bodies. We finished up by virtually walking around the Smithsonian Air and Space exhibits, then a quiz 🌙🪐✨☄️🌔🌍

Did you know that today is National Tattoo Day?

We had such fun this afternoon at Whittington’s Tattoo Parlour, residents picked out which design they wanted and where they wanted it, and we did the rest!

Lots of laughs and some very fashionable arms!

Happy Bastille Day! 🇫🇷

We started the day by making French breakfast puffs, which are similar to cinnamon muffins, glazed with sugar. They were delicious! 🧁

Then this afternoon we ‘caught’ the Eurostar and visited France - we skied Mont Blanc, explored the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame, saw the Mona Lisa in the Louvre, and even went to Disneyland and went on a rollercoaster!

Saying hello and receiving cuddles is very tiring, obviously! 😴
