Merry 'Knit-mas!'...

What could be better than a festive jumper or a sweater? On day number 11 of our advent door, we eagerly awaited what was in store as we celebrated 'National Jumper Day' with style! From a group photo under the glistening tree to moments of magic filled with glee, Adrian playfully said: 'Go on then. We haven't got all day'.

With spirits lifted higher with each thread of fabulous attire, Ginette, Cathy & Larry were mesmerised by all of the patterns & Annette couldn't wait to have her photo taken with our staff member, who wore a festive onesie! As we settle into the holiday season with a grateful heart, we remind everyone that: "The most important thing in communication, is hearing what isn't said. Listen with your heart".

On the first day of December, we had an afternoon to remember as we gathered to witness our Christmas light switch on! It is a magnificent time when the Devonshire glows with a sparkle of magic that lights up the road! On what was far from a silent night, all was calm & all was bright as we waited in gentle anticipation with mince pies and mulled wine.

Annette (jolly as ever) was wrapped in a cosy blanket, quipping, ‘This will do!’… as she nestled into the warmth of the occasion. Cathy & Carmel were joined by loved ones, who took the opportunity to capture a joyful moment.

Uplifted by community spirit & a wholesome turnout, we decked the ‘walls’ with style as our guests stayed for a while! From feel-good food to serenading sounds – we blissfully chatted, chilled & unwound from a busy year with sentiment & cheer.

A ‘gift’ to our Residents, our ever-present families and the wider community, the Devonshire’s Lights of Hope have been known to produce wonderful memories, with some children believing that Santa lives here! With the holiday season just around the corner, you are not alone as we gently reach out to Share the Care.

The ever popular 'Albus' made a welcome return this week as our Residents were 'all ears' to hear about how he had been!

Hopping to the front of the queue for a closer view, Alfredo said: 'Oh, my darling friend...' , a curious Larry asked 'Does he have a name?' and a joyful Adrian (not fluffing his words) said: 'I don't normally like lots of animals, but this one seems rather okay!'.

In another moment of magic, Francis was visibly at ease as Albus cosied up to cuddle each Resident. Playful as ever, a bright-eyed and bushy tailed Veronica said: 'Oh it's lovely' before gently stroking the Rabbit.

Every day is special, come and see why...

Lest We Forget…
“For their tomorrow, gave us today. A moment of remembrance, and hope for a peaceful future”

On Sunday 9th & Tuesday 11th of November, we celebrated Remembrance Sunday & Armistice Day by remembering those who so bravely sacrificed their lives to fight for our freedom. Pausing for a poignant moment of gentle reflection, Florence & Larry (proudly holding Poppy drawings) took a moment to share their feelings as Florence touched on how it felt when the end of war was announced. She said: ‘Yes, there was hope!’. Echoing similar sentiments, Larry passionately exclaimed: ‘There was togetherness. I wish I could do more.’

Lining up to pay respect, George & Janet felt inspired to take a photo with the words ‘Lest We Forget’ as the latter pointed to the sign, saying: ‘Well, It is important I do it’ in what summarised a significant few days at the Devonshire.

Recently - our Day Centre was bright in more ways than one as Jean (during a sensory activity) helped us with our latest Day Centre board and passionately said: 'This is grand', whilst Alfredo said: 'Oh, I do love such colours'. Everyday is special, come and see why. . .

With you every step of the way! Last month for World Alzheimer's Day on the 21st September. we had a day to remember as we took some gentle steps around the garden for a walkathon that was so much fun! The first of many heart-warming strolls, Christine completed 50 steps, saying: "I hope I did well". Cathy cheekily said: "50, that's your lot!" and Adrian joked: "Get on with it then", as we racked up a combined 500 steps. This years theme - 'Ask About Dementia' focused on open communication as we informed everyone that purple symbolises wisdom and hope.

World Mental Health Day serves as a powerful reminder that there is no health without mental health, and that everyone's mental health is important. When someone is living with dementia there is always concern about the health of the brain and how to cope through the dementia journey.

When you are a carer or care partner there is concern about the stress you feel providing care and how you will manage. This year’s theme set by the World Federation for Mental Health is ‘Access to Services’ – we want to tell you about the services Devonshire Dementia Care Home and Day Centre provide to support people living with dementia and their families experiencing stress, related to a dementia diagnosis.
