🍽️ Dining at Hastings Court 🍽️

At Hastings Court Care Home, we believe mealtimes should be about more than just great food — they should bring comfort, connection, and choice.

Sharing meals with others can bring so many benefits — boosting wellbeing, sparking conversation, and creating a sense of belonging. We love seeing friendships grow over a cup of tea or a home-cooked lunch.

🌟 But choice always comes first.
If a resident prefers to enjoy their meals in the privacy of their own bedroom, we’re delighted to support them. Comfort and dignity are at the heart of everything we do.

At Hastings Court, every dining experience is shaped around the individual — because this is their home. ❤️

Over the past decade, Claire has shown dedication, compassion, and unwavering commitment to providing outstanding care. She always goes the extra mile, and we are truly grateful to have her as part of our Hastings Court family.

Please join us in congratulating Claire on her fantastic milestone — thank you for everything you do, Claire! 🌙✨
Here’s to many more years of making a difference 💐

📯 Armistice Day Memory Cafe at Hastings Court

Today at Hastings Court we joined the nation in honouring Armistice Day with a heartfelt two-minute silence, reflecting together on the bravery, sacrifice, and service of those who have given so much. 🌺

This afternoon, we were also proud to host our very first Dementia/Memory Café. Families, residents, and members of the community came together to enjoy a range of themed activities designed to support connection, conversation, and reminiscence.

It was a warm and supportive space for those living with dementia and for the people who care for them — a chance to share, learn, and feel understood. 💛

Thank you to everyone who joined us on this meaningful day.

🇬🇧 A Special Outing to Honour Our Veterans 🇬🇧

This week, we had the privilege of taking our veteran residents to for a well-deserved pub lunch as a heartfelt thank-you for their service. ❤️

Our residents enjoyed great food, wonderful company, and the warm welcome from the team. We were also proud to purchase some of their limited-edition poppy glasses, beautifully designed by veterans themselves — a meaningful keepsake that helps support an important cause.

A huge thank-you to everyone who made the day so memorable. 🌺
Lest we forget.
