Children from Peel Park Primary School and residents at Anchor - Ashcroft care home exchanged stories of growing up in different eras during a recent visit.

The visit from Peel Park Primary School was made possible by The Linking Network and its Intergenerational Linking programme. The programme brings together young people in schools with older people living in care homes, independent living or from community groups.

The team at Anchor - Berkeley Court care home Leeds have been celebrating after being classed as ‘good’ by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), the second highest rating possible.

The CQC’s robust inspection process gives care homes a rating of outstanding, good, requires improvement, or inadequate based on five categories. Berkeley Court care home was rated good in the three categories inspected.

The CQC inspectors were impressed by colleagues at Berkeley Court respecting people’s preferences and choices and encouraging independence. Inspectors noted that Anchor colleagues were kind and respectful and ensured that people had access to the care and support they required.

Well done to the team at Overstone House who recently completed a challenging 26-mile walk in support of Alzheimer's Society, raising £4435 for the vital cause.

The walk marks just one of several community initiatives at Overstone House. The team's fundraising efforts continue with another event in August - a local community dog show and funday where all monies raised will go to Veterans with Dogs, a charity that supplies therapy dogs to veterans.
