This was a lovely gesture for Valentine's Day from the team at Torry 🥰

"For Valentine’s Day, we set up a special dinner date for our lovely resident May and her husband Bob. Bob treated himself to a haircut and arrived wearing a smart suit and tie to impress May, who is always at her happiest when Bob is by her side. Together they enjoyed a delicious three-course meal, followed by coffee and quiet conversation.

May and Bob first met at just 14 years old and have been inseparable ever since. They married when they both turned 21 and have shared 70 wonderful years together. Watching the way they still look at each other across the table was truly remarkable — their glances told a beautiful story of devotion, presence, laughter, and a lifetime of cherished memories.

Later this year, in May, May and Bob will celebrate 65 years of marriage — a heartfelt reminder that true love never fades.

Ellie,
Wellbeing Lead at Torry"

One of the special moments that makes our day to see 🥹❤️

At 78 years old, dance-loving Kathy had one wish, which was to be able to join her twin sister in a dance. At our Riverside home, the staff really stepped up to make this dream a reality, and the result had us all feeling extremely emotional 🥹

So proud to have staff who care so much about their residents ❤️👏

We’re lucky to have a team that consistently goes above and beyond, driven by a shared commitment to care.

Today, we’re following the lead of our staff who have recently recognised Simeon, a painter and decorator within our North team 🎨 🌟

Whether he’s refreshing a room or supporting in the delivery of essential supplies during adverse weather conditions, Simeon’s "all hands on deck" approach is something we all value. He brings the same dedication to creating a warm and welcoming environment as he does to supporting colleagues and residents, and it’s these quiet moments of teamwork and going the extra mile that truly define the heart of our homes ❤️

We can only provide the best care for our residents if we have the best possible staff in every position within Renaissance Care ❤️

On the 11th, we were delighted to host our Lifestyle Ambassador training at Beech Manor Care Home, a fantastic session focused on empowering our teams to create meaningful engagement for the wonderful people who live with us.

The training was designed to help staff build confidence in leading activities, inspiring their colleagues, and ensuring every resident has opportunities for connection, purpose, and joy in their daily lives 💙

We’re thrilled to share that the feedback has been incredibly positive, and we’re excited to continue this momentum with another session taking place at Cranford later this month.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to such an inspiring day — your dedication makes a real difference to resident wellbeing across our homes 👏🥰

Torry is always a fantastic home for creating magical expereince for their residents, and wellbeing lead Kirstie has shared their most recent one below 💙

"Karen had a calm and restorative morning. The room was transformed into a “Namaste” relaxation space designed to promote mindfulness, comfort, and emotional wellbeing. The lighting was dimmed to a soft deep blue, one of Karen’s preferred colours, and gentle, slow-paced music was played to create a peaceful and calming environment.

Karen was seated comfortably in the massage chair, where she received a relaxing hand massage with her feet elevated to promote circulation and physical comfort. She was provided with the sensory cat for reassurance and tactile comfort, which she gently cuddled. Karen later spent time cuddling the sensory dog, Whisky, which she responded to positively and appeared very content.

A slow, gentle hand massage was provided, carried out with care and attention to Karen’s comfort. This helped to further release tension, encourage relaxation, and support a sense of calm and connection. Karen remained settled and relaxed throughout the session.

This Namaste session was highly beneficial for Karen as it supported relaxation, reduced stress levels, and promoted emotional balance. The calm environment, combined with soothing music, physical comfort, and gentle touch, helped Karen feel at ease and supported her overall wellbeing. Sessions like this can improve mood, encourage positive engagement, and provide valuable time for rest and self-care 🩷"

Well done, team 🥹 what a wonderful way of taking care of your residents 👏💙

Jesmond with some innovative game ideas and even more innovative clothing ideas 😂

The Snowball Toss was a big hit with our residents, and I've heard a few of the staff are taking the trousers home with them for their next night out! Fashion statement! 🤪

Love is in the air at our Wyndwell home ❤️ 😍

Our residents took part in some Valentine’s Day crafts using paint and balloons, which they then used to write a special message to their loved ones to give on Valentine's Day 💝

A lovely way to keep the romance alive 🥰

Our Berelands home have had a very special visitor! 🐾

There’s nothing quite like the unconditional love and enthusiasm of a pup to brighten someone’s day!

Berelands' lovely therapy dog, Beth, recently paid a visit, and the smiles said it all. From gentle cuddles to happy chats and even a few laughs, our residents truly enjoyed the comfort and companionship that only a furry friend can bring.

Therapy dogs can help reduce stress, spark wonderful memories, and encourage social interaction. And all with a wagging tail 💛🐶

Absolutely LOVE this from our Berelands home 🥁

It's always so inspiring to see our residents encouraged to stay active in fun and engaging ways, and I'm sure you'll agree... this counts as both of those things!

Great work team 👏

Today is 'Time to Talk' day, where we encourage residents, staff and relatives to reach out for support if they need it 🤝 💜

This initiative reflects our values as a passionate, people-centred and inclusive care community.

Glencairn home manager, Jozi Stables, has allocated protected time each week to ensure residents and team members have a welcoming and supportive space to talk, connect with others, and be heard.

Time to Talk encourages open and meaningful conversations in a friendly and respectful environment, helping to build stronger relationships and reduce the stigma often associated with mental health. By prioritising time for connection, we aim to ensure everyone at Glencairn and across all of our Renaissance Care homes feels valued, supported, and included ❤️
