Happy birthday to our lovely little Mona who enjoyed being pampered in the salon wth Tracy where she was serenaded as everyone sang happy birthday.

Mona was joined by her family in the activiity cafe foe an afternoon tea and Mona really enjoyed her sherry and lemonade so much she didn't want to put it down to blow her candles out.

Monas family shared some lovely videos with us of Mona a few years back in the hot tub and playing drinking games with a water gun 😄 it was lovely to see.

Our residents have enjoyed Funday Friday having hair and nails done.
It's always a busy day with everyone feeling amazing after Tracy performs her magic in the salon.

Another wish added to our wish tree today as Margaret enjoyed a shopping spree to South Shields.

Margaret was hoping for a nice lemon jumper to wear in the nice spring weather and we found just what she was looking for in Bon Marche.

🎵 It's a family affair - three generations of musicians entertain residents at Lindum House 🎹

Colleagues and residents at Lindum House Care Home in were treated to a wonderful afternoon of musical entertainment thanks to three generations of the same talented family of singers.

Paul and his wife, Pat, have been married for over 60 years and have recently moved into Lindum House. Paul was a regular on the club circuit for many years performing as part of ‘The Society of Mice’ and ‘The Two Cavaliers.’ It was at Pat’s local pub, The Spring Head, where Paul used to sing every week, that they first met. Their son, Gary, has carried on the family tradition and can regularly be found performing locally in the pubs and clubs.

Following in their footsteps, grandson Liam, is also a talented singer. He joined forces with his dad and, later on in the set, his grandpa too, and three generations of the Julian family entertained the residents.

A resident shared: “It was so lovely to hear their three voices and really heart-warming to see Paul join in and sing so well at the end of the set. What a wonderful memory for them to cherish.”

Such a lovely experience! ✨

✂️ Kind-hearted Colleague Donates Her Hair to The Little Princess Trust ✂️

Staff and residents at Beaufort Grange Care Home in are celebrating their selfless Activities Coordinator, Lucy, who has very kindly donated her lovely long hair to cancer charity, The Little Princess Trust.

Having seen first-hand the impact that cancer can have on families, kind-hearted Lucy wanted to help in whatever way she could. The Little Princess Trust a wonderful charity who make wigs for children who have lost their hair through cancer treatment and who are always looking for donations of hair.

Lucy decided to take the plunge and the whole home got together to give her moral support and cheer her on. Several of the residents couldn’t bear to watch as Lucy parted ways with her beautiful long locks.

She said: “I have really thick, heavy hair and I have donated it before but you still can’t help feeling nervous. If it helps a child going through a tough time though, it’s all worth it and I would definitely do it again. I just need to get a move on before too many grey hairs start to come through!”

Such an inspiration – well done, Lucy! 👏
