We are delighted to announce that Hadleigh Nursing Home has taken first place in our group-wide Easter cake competition, beating 43 other care homes across the country!
Hadleigh’s talented chef Dave Blanden, together with hospitality manager Michelle Bailey and the home’s wonderful residents, created a showstopping Easter masterpiece, an Easter bunny home inside a chocolate log, crowned with a giant carrot cake carrot!
Michelle, who has had her eyes on this trophy since joining Kingsley three years ago, said it was very much a team effort, with residents getting involved in the decorating.
As winners, they receive a £200 prize, which is going straight into the home’s residents' fund to help pay for extra outings and activities. A sweet victory in every sense!
A huge well done also to our runners-up, Sycamore Heights Care Home in Bedford and Timperley Nursing Home near Altrincham. The standard was incredibly high this year!
Thank you to Kingsley's judges Dee Perera and Joanne Carlyon-Blanchard for the tough job of choosing a winner.
We couldn't be prouder of our amazing teams and residents. This is a victory for everyone taking part.
