Today we celebrated the retirement of our wonderful Chris Fair after an incredible 48 years at Coverage Cares Woodcroft Residential Care Homet in Market Drayton.

Chris was honoured with a long‑service award from our directors in recognition of his dedication, hard work, and unwavering commitment over nearly five decades. As our maintenance man, Chris was always there whenever anyone needed help and made sure every job was done to perfection. Nothing was ever too much trouble for him.

Loved by staff and residents alike, Chris has been such a huge part of Woodcroft and will be deeply missed by everyone.

Thank you for everything, Chris. We wish you and your wife Sue a long, happy, and well‑deserved retirement. 💙

The lovely sunny weather seems to be sparking creativity all across our Coverage Care homes — and Montgomery House is no exception. Residents have been getting wonderfully crafty, painting pebbles collected from the beach and turning them into bright, cheerful little masterpieces.

It’s moments like these that show the heart of our Coverage Care community: sunshine, imagination, and residents enjoying meaningful activities together. The colours are vibrant, the laughter is contagious, and the creativity is truly shining across all our homes 🎨🌞💛

Residents at Woodcroft Residential Care Home in Market Drayton have been getting creative with air‑dry clay, crafting beautiful trinket dishes in all shapes and sizes.

They then decorated their pieces using decoupage, choosing a wonderful mix of colours and patterns.

Everyone enjoyed getting hands‑on and expressing their creativity. Now the dishes are drying, ready to be glazed and used very soon.
They look amazing already!

Montgomery House was full of music and happy faces recently as Kiddley Divey came to entertain our residents. It was a lively afternoon and a reminder of how much these moments mean to our Coverage care community. Fun all around.

Coverage Care is proud to highlight Lea Fretwell, whose compassion and dedication embody the heart of dementia care. After years as a military wife, Lea was inspired to join the care sector when her own parents needed support — an experience that shaped her commitment to making care better.

Since joining Innage Grange, Lea has grown from Assistant Manager to Development and Support Manager, helping colleagues across Shropshire and leading dementia training that transforms everyday experiences for residents. Her passion for dignity, connection, and person‑centred care continues to inspire everyone around her.

Last year, Lea even took on a skydive with her colleagues to raise funds for the Alzheimer’s Society and volunteered at events to encourage others to become Dementia Friends — a cause close to her heart.

Today, Lea remains as committed as ever. “I count myself lucky that every day, I get to make a difference — that’s a gift. I can’t imagine a more meaningful path than the one I’m on.”

This Dementia Action Week, Coverage Care celebrates Lea — and all those who champion understanding and compassion for people living with dementia.

Coverage Care's Montgomery House in Shrewsbury marked Dementia Action Week 2026 with a fantastic cake sale on Wednesday afternoon, bringing residents, families, and staff together in support of Dementia UK. 💙

The atmosphere was buzzing, the cakes were delicious, and the community spirit was stronger than ever. Two of the home’s lovely residents were thrilled to win the raffle, adding an extra touch of joy to the day.

Montgomery House would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who baked, bought, donated, or simply came along to show their support. Every contribution helps raise awareness and make a difference for those living with dementia and their families.

🌼 Dementia Action Week 2026 18–24 May

At Coverage Care, we’re passionate about raising awareness and supporting everyone affected by dementia — not just this week, but every single day.

💙 Did you know that 83.9% of our staff across all 11 Coverage Care homes are now Dementia Friends?

That means hundreds of our team members have taken the time to learn more about dementia, understand its impact, and commit to making our communities more supportive and inclusive.

Becoming a Dementia Friend is a simple but powerful way to make a difference. It helps people recognise the small actions that can change how someone living with dementia experiences the world.

If you’d like to learn more or become a Dementia Friend yourself, visit the official page:

Together, we can build a more understanding, dementia‑friendly future.

Become a Dementia Friend. Learn more about what it is like to live with dementia and turn that understanding into action.

The benefits of being outdoors in nature are truly immeasurable — fresh air, sunshine, gentle movement, and the simple joy of watching things grow all play a huge part in boosting wellbeing. At Coverage Care homes, our residents are lucky to enjoy wonderful outdoor spaces that encourage relaxation, connection, and a sense of purpose.

At Montgomery House in Shrewsbury, the Gardening Club has been in full swing! 🌼
Residents have been getting stuck in, sharing their favourite gardening tips, and taking pride in the beautiful results of their hard work. From planting to pruning, every moment spent outside brings laughter, learning, and a lovely lift in spirits.

And of course… the friendly competition is officially on — and the gardens are blooming as brightly as the residents who tend them.
