Our wonderful knit and natter group, supported and run by our master knitter volunteer Jean, have been hard at work once again knitting up some cute creations for you all! This time it's a whole basket of Easter Chicks, and all you need to do to get one is come on by and drop a small donation to the residents amenity fund in the bucket! A great handmade Easter treat for kids and adults alike!

It's Foodie Friday!

Is there anything fancier than smoked salmon? If so I don't want to know about it, because this dish is a perfect blend of beautiful smoked fish, creamy whipped cheese, tart citrus and herbaceous dill, all piled on top of a delicious slice of homemade crusty bread!

Congratulations in order for Care Leader Lisa who today received her 5 year service award! Home Manager Karla and 7 year resident Tony were on hand to present the award in front of staff and residents who applauded enthusiastically!

Lisa's dedication, compassion and leadership make her an invaluable and well loved presence in Grace, never too busy to help or advise staff and support residents with whatever they may need.

Lisa is a person whose love and care shows in everything she does, someone you can always count on, and above all a Care Leader whose expertise, cool head and good humour has helped and supported every single person here at Grace more times than we can count.

Thank you Lisa!

It's always sad when a resident leaves us, especially if they've been around a long time and built relationships with staff and other residents.

The kindness we show to each other in these moments is what helps everyone through, and there's no better demonstration of that than these thoughtful gifts from the family of a recently departed resident. A heartfelt and wonderful reminder of a person we all cherished, represented by her favourite bird, the robin.

Thank you so much to the family for thinking of us in this difficult time, it was a privilege to care for your loved one and everyone at Grace is sending love and well wishes to you all ❤️

It's Foodie Friday!

It's not only our chefs that love cooking, the residents do too! Here's the result of a collaboration between the chefs and the residents, a friendly fella we called Pierre the Caterpillar!

It's Foodie Friday!

Today we're highlighting a delicious and nutritious buffet dinner created for a recent event.
It's always a treat to see all of the different dishes our chefs can create, and a buffet provides the perfect opportunity for them to work their creative magic!

Big thanks to Thornbury Castle for hosting us for tea and biscuits today in their beautiful and opulent lounge! Residents enjoyed some fancy teas and coffees, and looking at all the wonderful art, architecture and decoration. Resident historian Tony told us all about Henry the 8th, and how the castle related to the bok he is reading about Robert Cecil, so we're now full of cosy drinks, full of art and full of fascinating history facts!

Residents got into the Halloween spirit last week with some wonderfully spooky pumpkin carving!
For many residents this was the first pumpkin they had carved, and enjoyed drawing the faces in and then helping to carve them out. Resident Brenda was surprised by her own artistic skill, saying 'I never thought I could make something like this, it looks like a real piece of art!' Pictured are some proud residents with their creations, and they looked even better set up outside with tealights shining through!
