Our homes don’t just welcome residents - they welcome families, friends, and loved ones with open arms.

We know how much it means to keep sharing life’s moments together. That’s why we invite families to join in wherever they can - from afternoon tea in the garden and lively activity sessions, to celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, and those “just because” days.

It’s about laughter shared over a cup of tea, stories told across generations, and the joy of simply being together. In our homes, families remain families - not just visitors.

Because connection isn’t just important. It’s everything.

Celebrating World Photography Day at Aria Care.

Earlier this year, we launched a photography competition across our homes to capture the heartfelt moments of joy, love, and care that make our communities so special.

The winning photograph, taken at Albany Lodge, was chosen by our Media Producer, Marcus Gilbert. Today, Marcus visited the home to present the team with their prize – a brand-new Canon camera and a photography workshop – so they can continue to capture and share the many special moments that happen at Albany Lodge every day.

Home Manager Sarah shared:

"We’re so excited to have won the grand prize. This camera will help us showcase even more of the heartfelt moments in our home, and we’re grateful to Aria for giving us this opportunity. Our photos will now look more beautiful than ever when we share them with our community."

We can’t wait to see the wonderful memories Albany Lodge captures next! 🌟

(Other photos show Oluchi, Activities Lead, already putting the new camera to good use!)

Yesterday’s activities here at Cranmer Court were all about flowers and imagination! Our flower arranging session let everyone explore different colours and textures. Each resident was able to create a bunch to their own taste.

For our afternoon activity we tried our hand at glass painting! We turned simple glass jars into pieces of art!

Both activities went down well with our residents and brightened up everyone’s day 💐🌼🌻

As care needs change, knowing the right support is in place can bring real peace of mind.

Residential care offers help with everyday living; things like preparing meals, personal care, and companionship. It’s about creating a safe, supportive home where people can feel comfortable and connected.

Nursing care provides all of this, with the added reassurance of round the clock medical support from qualified nurses. It’s there for those who need a little more support, whether due to complex health conditions or changing needs.

At Aria Care, we offer both, so your loved one’s care can evolve as their needs do. No upheaval, just continuity, compassion, and the right level of support at every stage.

Every dementia journey is deeply personal.

Behind every dementia diagnosis – whether it's Alzheimer’s, vascular dementia, or less common types like Lewy bodies, or frontotemporal dementia – is a unique individual with a lifetime of memories, relationships, and experiences.

At Aria Care, we don’t just see the condition, we see the person. We take the time to listen to each resident’s story, understand their needs, and provide care that’s built on empathy, calm, and dignity. We care from the heart.

Through structured routines and memory-enhancing environments, we help bring moments of connection, comfort, and joy to those living with dementia, and to the families who love them.

Everyone’s story matters to us, and we believe every person deserves to feel seen, supported, and safe.

“Am I doing the right thing?”

It’s a question so many families ask when looking for care for a loved one. There’s uncertainty, there’s guilt, and an overwhelming desire to get it right.

At Aria Care, we’ve supported hundreds of families through these feelings, and we understand how deeply emotional they can be.

That’s why we don’t just offer care options.

We offer guidance, reassurance, and a human voice on the end of the phone or in any of our homes who truly listens.

Whether you’re preparing for the future or responding to a sudden change in circumstances, our compassionate teams are here to help you navigate it all, with practical advice and genuine heart.

We provide:
✔️ Residential & Nursing Care
✔️ Dementia Support
✔️ Respite Breaks & Convalescent Stays
✔️ Palliative & End-of-Life Care
✔️ Day Support Services

Finding the right care isn’t just a checklist, it’s a journey, but you don’t have to travel alone.

Yesterday here at Cranmer Court we started off the day with a relaxing watercolour painting session. Everyone tried their hand at painting juicy fruits! 🍊🍋

After expressing our artistic side, we tried a gentle chair yoga session, helping everyone to stretch, breathe and unwind. The room was filled with peaceful energy and calm thanks to Jane, our amazing Yoga teacher! 🧘‍♀️
