We had such a lovely afternoon yesterday when the TrebleMakers IOW came in to see our residents. The children sang beautifully, shared stories, and spent time chatting, which meant the world to everyone here.

It was a really warm, happy visit and we’re so grateful they chose to come back to Merrydale this year. Thank you to all the children (and the adults who support them!) for bringing so much festive joy into our home 🥰

We look forward to seeing you again soon and a very Merry Christmas from all of us at Merrydale! 💙

We were absolutely delighted to receive another beautiful donation of Christmas gifts for our residents from Macie & Dana 🎄💛

This is now the fifth year they’ve done this – every December they arrive with armfuls of presents, big smiles, and so much kindness. It really does mean the world to everyone here at Merrydale.

Thank you both for thinking of our residents year after year. Your generosity brings so much joy and festive warmth into our home – and we are so grateful 🥰

Merry Christmas, Macie & Dana – and thank you for being part of our Merrydale family 🌟

A very festive morning at Merrydale today! 🎄🎨 Pom-poms, pine cones, glitter everywhere… and Ginge, proudly acting as Head of Supervision 😺✨

Our residents made the sweetest cards and decorations, and the smiles say it all, nothing beats a cosy crafting day (with a little help from Ginge) to get us in the Christmas spirit! ❤️🎅

This morning the residents have begun their Christmas Creations! With the help of our lovely Debbie, the residents made their own little biscuit houses 🏡🎄

Plus... our weekly visit from the sweetest puppies 🥰

There’s something special about our garden at this time of year, the colours get deeper, the flowers hang on bravely, and the air feels that little bit calmer (and fresher!) 🌿🧡

💙 A little snippet from a recent review that genuinely touched our hearts…

“Merrydale really did feel like our Grandma’s home. The carers knew her, chatted with her, cared about her likes and dislikes, and always had time for her and for us… They were like an extended family.”

These words mean so much to us, not just because they're kind, but because they show what Merrydale really is all about… care, connection, and feeling like you’re part of something.

If you’re a friend, family member, or someone who’s been part of Merrydale in any way, we’d love if you could leave us a review too. It really helps future families see what life here is actually like, from real experiences, not just brochures and websites.

We’re reaching out to our Merrydale family, past and present loved ones, relatives and friends!

If Merrydale has touched your life in some way, we would be so grateful if you could leave us a review. Personal experiences mean more than any brochure or rating ever could. When a family is searching for care, they’re searching for reassurance, trust and real voices. Your words can genuinely help someone make one of the hardest decisions they’ll ever have to make
