We enjoyed an incredible birds of prey show put on by Rutland Outdoor Pursuits at Oakham Grange , which was both fun and highly educational! We all learnt so much about these amazing birds. 🦉✨

The highlight for many was getting the chance to meet Nancy the owl, with residents all keen to have a turn holding her 💛

A huge thank you to Maxine and the girls from The Dance Studios Oakham for another fantastic performance on Tuesday. To see our residents dancing along in their chairs with smiles on their faces was just great to watch. We look forward to your next performance

Well done to all the girls who danced at the care home yesterday for St Patrick’s Day! ☘️💚

You were absolutely fantastic and brought so much joy and energy to everyone there. The residents really loved watching you perform, and you should all be very proud of yourselves.

The first in our Ardale Answers series, where we tackle the common myths and questions about life in care homes.

Today’s myth: “Care homes feel clinical.”

At Ardale, our homes are designed to feel just that- like home. We call our areas Households, creating warm, comfortable spaces where residents can truly feel they belong. 💚

We also have plenty of spaces to enjoy, including private dining rooms 🍽️, a cinema room 🎬, and shared communal areas for relaxing and socialising.

This weekend’s Men’s Club Beer Tasting event went down a storm! 🍺

The majority of Oakham's gentlemen joined us for a fun-filled afternoon of beer tasting, where everyone enjoyed sampling different beers! We tucked into some snacks and watched the rugby, before voting for our favourite beer.🏆

It was wonderful to hear such positive feedback from the residents, with many saying they’d love to do again. A great time was had by all!

Swipe to the end to see which beer was crowned the winner!

⭐ Osprey sighting ⭐

Alongside the sighting of 2H3 (Rutland male, hatched 2022) last month, 1H7 has also been seen recently!

During a count of Ospreys in the Karone Islands, Casamance region, Senegal, Jean-marie Dupart counted 161 Ospreys - including a number of ringed birds.

1H7 was amongst them, a male from Rutland Water Nature Reserve, hatched in 2022.

1H7 has been seen in Rutland in 2024 and 2025, but hasn't yet paired up - will 2026 be the year he finds a partner?

Carrying on with the musical theme we had the fabulous Stamford Stompers in to perform last week. If you have not seen them before, we recommend you look out for their next performance around the local area. 🎤🎶🪩
