💜 Supporting a cause close to all our hearts 💜

At Priesty Fields, dementia care isn’t just what we do – it’s something we truly care deeply about every single day. That’s why we are so incredibly proud of our wonderful receptionist, Rachel Perkins 👏✨

Rachel is taking on an amazing challenge – walking 31 miles this May to raise funds for 💜 Dementia UK 💜

This incredible challenge helps fund specialist dementia nurses who provide vital advice and support to families when they need it most

Every step Rachel takes is for our residents, their families, and everyone affected by dementia 🫶

If you’re able to support her, no matter how big or small, it would mean the world 🌍💜

Let’s cheer Rachel on and show her just how proud we are! 🎉🚶‍♀️💪

Hi there, This month, I’m walking 31 Miles for Dementia UK – a cause close to my heart. Just £10 could pay for the telephone costs of two families calling its free Dementia Helpline, so any support would be appreciated. Thank you so much!

Grey skies outside? ☁️ Not on our watch! 🌈
While the weather may have been a little gloomy yesterday, inside our cosy home it was nothing but sunshine, smiles, and a healthy dose of friendly competition ☀️😄

Our lovely residents gathered together for a brilliant afternoon of games, puzzles, and quizzes 🧩✏️🧠 — from word searches that had us squinting 🤓 to games that kept everyone on their toes 🎯

There may have been a few “I’m sure that’s not a word!” moments… and definitely some very serious concentration faces 👀😂

But most importantly, it was filled with chatter, laughter, and that warm feeling you only get when you’re surrounded by good company 💛

Rain or shine, it’s the moments we share together that make every day special 🌼

Sunshine, smiles, and something a little different! ☀️🚲💛

Amber, our lovely new CRM, and our fearless Home Manager Rebecca had the exciting opportunity to hop on a rickshaw ride around Congleton Park with some of our lovely residents — including the fabulous Rosemary! Here ate some first hand pics taken while on the ride!🌸

With the sun shining and smiles all around, it was such a special way to enjoy the fresh air, beautiful surroundings, and each other’s company. Moments like these are what it’s all about… laughter, connection, and making memories together 🥰

We think it’s safe to say this won’t be the last rickshaw adventure! 🚲✨

Thanks for always giving us something to look forward to Beartown Rickshaw ! We appreciate you more than you know!🩷🩷

☀️ What a wild day we had last week at Priesty Fields! 🐾

We took a trip to Peak Wildlife Park and let’s just say… it did not disappoint! From getting up close and personal with some VERY friendly faces (who clearly thought we’d brought snacks 👀) to admiring the more “look-don’t-touch” VIPs from a safe distance… there was something for everyone!

One of our residents made a new little furry friend who was very keen on a handshake (or maybe just checking for treats… we’ll never know! 😂), while others enjoyed soaking up the sunshine and taking in the beautiful surroundings.

Although we may have forgotten our safari hats, we didn’t forget our sense of adventure! 🐆🌿

It’s been such a beautiful week here! ☀️
We’ve been making the most of the sunshine, spending time outdoors basking in the warm weather and enjoying some truly special moments. One of the highlights has been visits from our lovely therapy dog, Sasha 🐾 — bringing plenty of smiles, comfort, and of course, lots of well-deserved pets!

It’s the simple things that make days like these so special 💛 How have you been enjoying the last few days?

🦉✨ Something exciting is taking shape at Priesty Fields… but shhh… it’s still a secret!

Here’s a little sneak peek from today’s art session — our wonderful residents have been busy creating these adorable owls, and we had an absolute hoot of a time! 😄

We even said, if we could see the world through an owl’s eyes, we’d all be a bit wiser… although knowing us, we’d probably still forget where we left our cups of tea! ☕😂

There’s plenty more to come as this mystery project unfolds, so keep your eyes peeled… you won’t want to miss it! 👀✨

It was a tea-rrific day at Priesty Fields! ☕🌍

To celebrate National Tea Day, we hosted a wonderful around-the-world tea tasting… and let’s just say, our residents took their judging duties VERY seriously 👀🍵

We sampled 5 different teas from across the globe — from bold and traditional to fruity and refreshing — and everyone cast their votes for their favourites.

🥇 First place (by a landslide!) went to the rich and spicy Masala Chai — a firm favourite that definitely brought the “ooohs” and “ahhhs”! 🥈 Second place was the refreshing fruity blend of strawberry, raspberry & hibiscus — perfect for those who like a sweeter sip! 🥉 Third place went to the classic Assam tea — strong, reliable, and very British-approved 🇬🇧

There were plenty of laughs, a few very passionate opinions, and maybe even some “tea-riffic” debates along the way… 😉

A huge thank you to everyone who joined in — proving once again that it’s not just about the tea, it’s about the company, the conversation, and the joy of trying something new 💛

Same time tomorrow for another brew? ☕😄

✨ Mythbuster Monday! ✨

❌ Myth: Care homes are depressing places.
✅ Fact: Today’s care homes are vibrant, welcoming, and full of life! 🏡💛

🎭 From entertainment and outings 🎶 to hobbies and social events 🎨, our residents enjoy a true sense of community 🤝. Friendships are formed, laughter is shared, and loneliness is replaced with joy and connection 💬❤️.

Care homes aren’t just a place to live—they’re a place to thrive! 🌿✨

🎶💃 You know it’s a good day when even management can’t stay in their seats… 🕺🎤

What a fantastic music singalong we had today! The room was filled with smiles, laughter, and plenty of toe-tapping (and let’s be honest… some questionable dance moves too! 😄).

From our wonderful residents singing their hearts out, to our team getting fully involved — we even had our maintenance man showing off his best dance moves alongside our amazing carers (we may have discovered a hidden talent there! 👀💃).

And it didn’t stop there… our Head Chef, management team, and heads of department couldn’t resist joining in the fun either — proving once again that music really does bring everyone together ❤️

A HUGE thank you to our fabulous singer Tony Boyle who had everyone up, singing, clapping, and reminiscing. You truly made the day so special for us all 🎸✨
Same time next week?! 🎶😉

We had a lovely post-Easter service today with New Life Church at our care home ✨

We are so grateful for the time, comfort, and joy they brought to our residents. Moments like these mean so much—bringing people together, lifting spirits, and creating a real sense of community 💛

For many of our residents, spiritual belief and connection remain an important part of who they are. Being able to continue these meaningful practices brings reassurance, peace, and a sense of belonging.

Thank you for sharing such a special time with us—we’re already looking forward to the next visit! 🙏

We are feeling so incredibly grateful 💛

A huge thank you to the amazing Rickshaw Bike Team for coming back to visit us once again and giving even more of our residents the chance to enjoy a lovely stroll around Congleton 🚲🌿

There is something so special about getting out into the fresh air, feeling the breeze, seeing familiar places, and sharing smiles along the way. For many of our residents, this isn’t something they get to experience every day — and it truly means the world ✨

Thank you again for your kindness, time, and the incredible difference you make. We can’t wait to welcome you back again soon!
