Thank you Amanda for your kind words! We want to thank everyone who attended our recent Advocates Meeting. It's so helpful to share experiences. Your feedback helps us identify areas where we need to make changes & improve our care. We never want to be complacent as it reinforces what we do well.

Adrian, Diane & co journeyed to Richmond Park for some 'window seat' deer spotting last month! In & amongst (not only nature) but great company & friendships - Fresh Air Drives (as always) proved to be a heart-warming & popular event as Del enjoyed an ice lolly or two! Everyday is special, come & see why...

Nestled into our vibrant gardens, Gladys made a well-received appearance as Marie gently placed the chicken on her lap & George became one of our many chick magnets for the afternoon. Beaming with joy - he said: 'Well that's a good one!' before laughing & stroking him. Reflective of simple pleasures, our feathered friend didn't stop there as he strutted his stuff for many more photo ops.

This month - we were 'whisked' away to the Devonshire Lyons Tea Room where we had an 'Eggcelent' time baking cakes! After ground-'baking' achievements - Larry wowed us with his mixing ability, before joking: 'I should do this more often'.

With all the ingredients for joy - Janet 'buttered us up' in more ways than one as she laid the foundations for tasty treats, before cheekily saying: 'Someone's got to do the preparation'. George (helping Larry) said: 'This is teamwork' - before taking on a solo effort with a grin as wide as his cooking skills!

Marie (in her own words) 'got stuck in' - as she went on to say: 'I should hope this comes out rather good' & Cathy quipped: 'This has been a good old day!'. We had a wholesome afternoon spent amongst friends & our care team.

Small Changes In Care Makes A Huge Difference To Wellbeing

Bouncing with fun-filled action this July - Wimbledon Tennis created ‘love’ in more ways than one in the 'Centre Court' of our lounge as we felt like winners during a racket load of wholesome activities. Partaking in doubles - Annette & Marie rallied together, as the latter playfully asked: ‘Am I keeping the trophy?!’

From the ‘advantages’ of friendly competition to teamwork - Mildred mastered her craft as she covered all angles to ace her themed drawing. Crowd pleased & at ease - Cathy (during doll therapy) - met her match before saying 'good game' & Alfredo revelled in the spotlight of our grand slam event. Topped with champion load of strawberries & cream with our care team - we closed out play after a fabulous day!

Everyday is special, come and see why...

Valerie (who loves spending time flower arranging) blossomed once more in our Day Centre during activities. Irene shared a joyful moment about her husband. Alfredo greeted a staff member by saying: 'Oh, what a beautiful surprise' and Florence complimented the Devonshire Lyons Tea Room, quipping: 'Oh, how magnificent'.

In our Day Centre - Marie, Kathleen, Kay, Cathy, Janet, Linda & George played interactive games and watched old movies! The former had a great time playing 'Whac-a-Mole' and the latter said 'Well this is good, isn't it!' during a spot of air hockey on our interactive magic table. Everyday is special, come and see why...

Singing for joy – let’s give a big hand to the Big Heart Band. Last month - Jackie & Alistair had a great time, with the former ‘raising the roof’ with delightful expression & the latter saying: ‘I love the dog!’. Afternoon tea poured with sentiment as we shared stories over a good old cuppa, as well as sweet & savoury treats. From special pho-dog-raphy to moments of magic, more community connections were made!

In a moment of sentiment – we took an opportunity to wish Ray a very well deserved Happy Retirement after eight incredible years of service with the Devonshire! Congratulations on reaching this incredible milestone. Here’s to the next chapter...
