Care isn’t just a job - it’s a calling. Every reassuring word, every shared laugh, every moment of comfort in our communities is powered by something we don’t talk about enough: emotional strength.

Our teams are with our residents through joy, friendship, anxiety, and even grief. And they show up with empathy, patience, and kindness every single day.

We couldn’t be prouder of the emotional intelligence and heart they bring to their work.

💛 What does compassionate care mean to you?
We’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences in the comments.

Play can be so powerful, especially for people living with dementia. Simple games can prompt a sense of fun, trigger memories, and help people feel more connected.

From a lively quiz-style game to doing a jigsaw side-by-side, playing together is important for stimulating the mind and opening the door to meaningful memories and conversation.

We see it across our communities every day; a friendly smile, a moment of calm concentration, or a burst of spontaneous laughter all demonstrate that Aria’s homes are a great place to live and work.

Today, for International Men’s Day, we’re celebrating the incredible men who bring wisdom, humour and character to our Aria Care communities.

One of them is Fred, who joined the Royal Engineers at 18 before spending decades driving steam, diesel and electric trains across Sussex and Kent. His favourite memory? “Having a kip at the back!” - followed by a grin and, “I didn’t really!”

We’re also proud to recognise men like John the dancer, Tony the truck driver, Jim the car painter, Norman from the RAF, Allan the paratrooper, Mark the lorry driver, Alan the sound specialist, and Tom the Chinese chess expert.

Every story reminds us: these men have lived extraordinary lives - and continue to inspire us every day.

Today, for World Kindness Day, we’ve been showing how small acts of kindness can make a really big difference. Kindness is something we practice every day, and our ethos of caring from the heart is built on our values of respect and empathy. We've had to narrow it down to just a few!

✨ Jemma shared smiles across the community by handing out roses as a 'random act of kindness.'

✨ At Tall Trees, Rhiannon and Paul created beautiful gift bags for new mums at the Chipping Norton maternity ward, made with donations from local businesses.

✨ Rendlesham residents and team members donated treats to the RSPCA to support the training and care of cats and dogs awaiting their forever homes.

✨ Kelly dedicated her time volunteering at her local community centre, helping bring people together.

✨ Residents at the Oaken Holt Estate crafted heartfelt thank you cards for the visiting paramedics, showing gratitude to those who are always there in times of need.

✨ Zoe and the team at Ivy Court donated to The Dixons Centre — a Norwich charity supporting vulnerable people and running a food bank for anyone in need.

✨ And at Mill House, our team hosted a “Bubbles & Brunch” for local health and social care heroes.

It's kindness that connects us all, with each other and with our wider communities.

Yesterday, our Aria Care communities took time together to honour and remember those who served and sacrificed for our freedom on Remembrance Day.

From crafting poppies and supporting community events, to joining local remembrance services and being visited by serving military personnel, residents, relatives, and teams across our homes marked the occasion with pride and reflection.

It was a meaningful day across all our homes, filled with respect and remembrance.

We will remember them. ❤️

11/11/2025

Today, on Remembrance Day, we honour those who served and sacrificed, and we’re privileged to share the story of one remarkable man within our Aria Care family.

At just 19, Ken Grant helped storm the beaches of Normandy on D-Day. Now aged 101, he was honoured to lay a wreath of poppies at Chipping Campden’s remembrance service - paying tribute to those who served and sacrificed. ❤️

As he placed the wreath, Ken said he wanted to “get the job done right,” adding, “I just needed to lay the wreath in the right place, step back safely, and stand to attention - just like I did during the war, although it’s not easy at over 100!”

Now a resident at Mill House Care Home, Ken continues to inspire everyone around him. After the war, he returned to his engineering career, later becoming a Major in the Royal Monmouthshire Royal Engineers Regiment.

Today, we honour Ken and all those who gave so much. Their courage and humility continue to inspire us.

We will remember them.

09/11/2025

Today, we pause to honour and remember all those who have served — past and present — in defence of our freedom.

Across Aria Care, we pay special tribute to our remarkable residents who once served, as well as members of our team and their families who continue to serve today. Your courage, sacrifice and dedication will never be forgotten.

We will remember them. ❤️

We’re incredibly proud of everything our team at Aria Care has achieved to date. Our ethos of caring from the heart shines through in everything we do, and we are always striving to do the very best for our residents.

That said, it means so much to have our efforts recognised — we’re absolutely delighted that our teams are finalists at tonight’s National Care Awards in not one, but two categories! 🎉

🏆 Care Home of the Year – Thames View, Thames Ditton
🏆 Large Care Home Group of the Year

Getting to this stage is a proud achievement, and we'd like to congratulate all the other finalists - we're in good company!

It’s November, which means we’re comfortable mentioning the “C” word now – it’s only a few weeks away! Finding the right Christmas gift for someone living with dementia can sometimes feel challenging. When memory, communication, or the senses begin to change, it’s easy to ask yourself, “What will truly bring them comfort and joy?”

The good news is that even the simplest gift, when chosen with love, can spark a memory, soothe the heart, and bring a moment of connection that means the world to your loved one.

This Christmas, think about gifts that speak to the senses; the warmth of a soft blanket to hold, a familiar song that brings a smile, the gentle scent of home, or a photo book filled with the faces of the people they love most.

The most meaningful gifts aren’t about how grand they are or how much money you spend; rather, they’re about love, comfort, and the beautiful little moments that remind us we’re loved.

🎃🕸️ Happy Halloween from Claydon House! 🕸️🎃

We had a fang-tastic time celebrating Halloween with our residents and team today! 👻✨

Our spooky celebrations included a pumpkin carving contest, a costume competition, and plenty of frightfully good food — including a spooky cake with colourful layers hidden inside! 🎂🧡

Our residents did a brilliant job judging the pumpkin contest — congratulations to our Care Team for taking 1st place, the Maintenance Team for 2nd, and the Wellbeing Team for 3rd! 🎃👏

And a big shoutout to Emma and Phoebe, who won Best Costumes as a witch and her cat! 🧙‍♀️🐈‍⬛

It was a wonderful day filled with laughter, creativity, and plenty of Halloween magic. 💛

We hope Halloween was as spooktacular as ours! 👻🎃

31/10/2025

What better way to celebrate Halloween than with a spooky whodunnit interactive event?

The team at Oaken Holt Estate invited Herring Events into the home to host an intriguingly mysterious Halloween extravaganza for residents and families to enjoy.

The old manor house at Oaken Holt feels like something straight out of an Agatha Christie novel, the perfect setting in which to explore the mysterious death of Amy Robsart in 1560. Her fall down a staircase, and the centuries of speculation that followed, provided the foundation for an afternoon of finding exciting clues and uncovering Tudor secrets, with lots of fun had by residents, family members, and all the Oaken Holt team.

Happy Halloween everyone! 🎃

Caring for a loved one living with dementia is an act of deep love, but it’s not always easy. Sometimes, even the most devoted carers need a moment to breathe.

Respite care offers a gentle pause and allows time for you to rest and recharge, while your loved one is surrounded by kindness, familiar routines, and expert dementia support.

We understand how hard it can be to trust someone else with care, even for a short time – lots of us have relatives that depend on us for care ourselves – and at Aria Care, every respite stay is shaped around the person. Our ethos of caring from the heart means that we want to get to know residents, even if their stay is a matter of days or weeks, so we can make their time with us feel like home.

Take a moment to see how respite care can support both you and your loved one:

Not sure what to do when the kids visit Nan or Grandad?

You’re not alone, but often it's best not to over-think it because the smallest moments can matter the most; from singing nursery rhymes and reading picture books to baking biscuits or teaching Gran a TikTok dance, there are so many ways to make visits special for everyone.

Our Aria Care team has shared simple, joyful ideas to help families connect across generations to give every smile, story, and shared laugh a chance to build a memory.

We had some very special guests at our home – Tom and Richard from Sussex Police! 🚓✨

Tom and Richard were truly wonderful guests – friendly, informative and so patient. A huge thank you to them both for giving up their time to visit us and make the day so memorable. 💛

🍔🎶 From BBQ to 1950s Diner! 🎶🌭

Our residents stepped back in time for a 1950s American-themed diner lunch! 🇺🇸✨

It was meant to be a BBQ, but when the rain came down, we brought the fun indoors – and it was just as fabulous.

With classic American favourites on the menu – juicy burgers, tasty hot dogs and creamy mac & cheese – plus retro décor and music, everyone had a wonderful time soaking up the diner vibes. 🎵🍟

Thank you to our amazing team for transforming a rainy day into something truly special for our residents. 💛
