We enjoyed a lovely day out visiting our sister home, Westbury Court Care & Nursing Home, where we were warmly welcomed by their wonderful activities team. Residents enjoyed making connections with new friends and taking part in quiz, followed by a delicious two-course lunch and a glass of white wine. 🍽️

What do you do when it’s cold and wet outside? We bake cakes!
Our Baking Club kicked off this morning with 12 delicious Lotus-flavoured cupcakes. We gathered our ingredients, cracked some eggs and got mixing, all while enjoying a proper cuppa. While the cakes were baking, we stayed cosy by flicking through some knitting magazines and choosing patterns for warm winter scarves.

Today we braved the cold, wrapped up warm, and enjoyed some fresh air before stopping by our local garden centre for a cosy latte ☕❄️
And of course… no visit is complete without a slice of cake 🍰

Happy New Year from us all at The Laurels 💫
Here’s a 2025 Flashback 💜

2025 has been a truly special year at The Laurels, filled with meaningful moments, shared laughter and a strong sense of togetherness. From unforgettable Make-A-Wish experiences at Ashton Gate to fun days out ice skating, every moment has helped create lasting memories for our residents, families and team.

We’ve loved welcoming everyone to our Family Fun Day and celebrating a wonderful Big Family Christmas. Along the way, we’ve marked birthdays, enjoyed Wimbledon together, and most importantly, celebrated one another and the connections that make our home so special.

We would like to say a heartfelt thank you to all our families and our local community for your continued support 💜
Most of all, thank you to our amazing staff for your commitment, care and compassion, which make The Laurels such a warm, supportive and happy place to call home.

Here’s to the memories we’ve made and the togetherness that defines The Laurels💜

This morning the children joined us for our crafts session and what better way to get excited for Christmas week! 🎄
Together with our Residents’ grandchildren & staff children we put our art skills to the test! We definitely got super messy with the paint, and enjoyed special moments of laughter, creativity, and togetherness. Bringing generations together, sharing smiles, and making festive memories 🤍✨

We put on Our Christmas Jumpers and wrapped up warm, and went ICE SKATING ! We all laughed until our sides hurt ❄️
There was many giggles, wobbles and slippery moments.
Back home to a warm, hearty casserole and full bellies ! Pretty sure we’ve found our new Christmas tradition ❤️ And to top the morning off was Tony’s comment “ Thank You , Iv always wanted to try that”

A wonderful festive evening spent singing carols with Draycott Church 🎄🎶

Nothing brings people together quite like Christmas carols 🎶

Familiar songs, festive spirit and a sherry. 🎄
