This week, Biscuit McJinglebottom (Belong Atherton's mischievous elf) truly outdid himself. 😲

He started off strong by sneaking into the gym, where he was spotted confidently stretching the resistance bands with the exercise specialist Kelly. He claimed he was 'bulking up for sleigh-lifting season'.

Later, residents reported seeing him riding one of the reindeers outside the manager's office— and shouting, “To the cookie cupboard! Charge!” The reindeer looked confused. 🦌

Then came the great Sweet Drawer Heist. Biscuit teamed up with PDF Vicky (who, frankly, should know better). Together they cracked open the nurses’ office sweet stash. Biscuit was elbow-deep in jelly babies before anyone caught him.

But the highlight of the week? Biscuit somehow managed to crawl into one of the big dryers in the laundry room, probably thinking it was a luxury spinning sauna. The poor thing accidentally hit the start button. Staff heard muffled yelping followed by a very warm, very dizzy elf stumbling out, hair fluffed up like he’d stuck his head in a static balloon. 🫧

All in all, Biscuit McJinglebottom had a very productive week of mischief. 😈

"I visit my sister once a fortnight. We are sometimes in her room and sometimes in the Bistro. I also phone about three times a week. The staff are generally very welcoming, full of smiles and helpful in providing a cup of tea, despite all sorts of demands on their time! My sister is taken out on interesting trips, which mean a great deal to her ... today, for example, she had just returned from the Museum when I rang and was clearly delighted with the experience.
The result of this caring an creative environment is that she is calmer and happier these last few years than she had been for decades before she came."

"My Dad has been at Belong since February 2022 and without doubt it was the best, albeit difficult, decision I have ever had to make with respect to my Dad's care. The staff on his household have been fantastic in everyway and they genuine care about him. My Dad is well known across the village and all staff including managers take time to check in with him and make sure he is ok. Dad is now receiving nursing care and the nursing team are very professional and have upskilled to help administer his ongoing medical needs. Dad is encouraged to attend many social activities and his regular attendance at on-site gym sessions does wonders for his physical and mental wellbeing. I am kept advised of all aspects of his care which is both reassuring and takes away a lot of pressure for me and my family."
