We were thrilled to welcome the 1st Harwell Beaver Scouts for a friendly visit. Our residents loved spending time with the Scouts, sharing stories, laughter, and lots of smiles, after spending time looking around our home and asking some very good questions, the Scout group spent some time with our residents.

It’s always heartwarming to see the community coming together and creating special moments across generations. 💛

A big thank you to the 1st Harwell Beaver Scouts for their energy and kindness, we can’t wait to see you again!

Hello, I’m Philip McAllister – Senior Customer Relations Manager at Advinia Health Care

I’m excited to have joined the Advinia team, bringing over a decade of experience in customer relations and sales leadership within the care sector. Throughout my career, I’ve focused on supporting families through every stage of the care journey, building high-performing teams, and fostering strong connections between care homes and their local communities.

Having spent time growing up in Africa and America, I developed a deep appreciation for cultural diversity, empathy, and community, values that continue to shape how I approach my work. I strongly believe that outstanding care starts with meaningful relationships, clear communication, and trust.

Beyond my professional experience, I’m a Dementia Friends Champion and advocate for inclusivity and wellbeing. I’m passionate about initiatives that bring people together through shared understanding and compassion.

I’m looking forward to supporting Advinia’s mission of delivering exceptional, person-centred care across the UK and making a positive difference for our residents, families, and teams.

If you’d like any advice, support, or to discuss anything related to customer relations, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me at crm.south@advinia.com.

I’m thrilled to be part of the Advinia family and look forward to connecting with you!

Remember, remember the fifth of November... Whether or not you braved the weather this week we hope you had a good Bonfire Night!

To help residents stay warm, dry and feeling secure we hosted our own alternative fireworks night here. We watched a dementia friendly display in our cinema, complete with colour changing lighting. There were plenty of 'oohs' and 'aahhs' at the beautiful fireworks and even a little sing along as we waved our glow wands. The bonfire cupcakes residents made went down a treat too!

Thank you to all our residents who got creative making their own fireworks pictures this week. Its been wonderful to share happy memories of Bonfire Night over the years and see residents coming together to enjoy a special night together.
