Today we held our monthly dementia friendly church service for our residents.
These church services provide comfort, familiarity, and a sense of peace, with known hymns and reflection that many residents connect with. Even when words are hard to find, the music and atmosphere bring calm, smiles, and reassurance ⛪🙏

Operation Woolly Mammoth Has Landed at Willow Court Care Home!

We’re bringing our residents and local community together for a heart warming winter project! We’re asking friends, families, neighbours and local groups to help us knit cosy blankets for people in need which will be donated through Age UK Hertfordshire.

You can get involved by:
• Knitting 20cm x 20cm squares using Double Knit Wool and 4mm knitting needles
• Donating Double Knit wool or 4mm knitting needles
• Helping us stitch blankets together (6 squares wide × 8 long).
• Or even teaching someone to knit!

Want to join our mammoth mission? Send us a message or pop into our home and come and see us.

We wrapped up our Burns Day celebrations today with a Scottish-themed coffee morning ☕🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

On the menu was Oatcakes with smoked cheese, Traditional shortbread, Tunnocks snacks and for a little twist we welcomed some traditional iron brew.

Our trolley went around with treats for all, and we had great fun playing Burns Bingo—with a few little prizes too! Another lovely morning shared with friends here at Willow 💛
