🇬🇧Veterans Breakfast Club 🇬🇧

Today at Oak Grange, our veterans came together for their monthly catch-up with our very own veterans who live here at the home. It’s always a wonderful opportunity to chat, share stories, reminisce and enjoy each other’s company. ❤️

A big thank you to Kate and the guys for bringing such a lovely bunch of flowers to wish Lindsay farewell. 💐 It was a beautiful and thoughtful gesture. Lindsay has really enjoyed meeting you all and spending time together, and we know she will treasure the memories.

We look forward to welcoming everyone back next month! 🇬🇧

🚐 Out and about! ☀️

Earlier this week, our residents at Oak Grange Care Home decided to hop on our minibus and head into the city centre while the sun was shining.

Getting out, enjoying the fresh air and seeing a change of scenery is a wonderful way to stay connected and help reduce social isolation. Our residents always enjoy our trips out, and it’s lovely to see everyone chatting, smiling and enjoying themselves. ❤️

We even stopped for a coffee, taking some time to catch up, have a chat and simply watch the world go by. ☕️😊

Here’s to more sunny adventures! 🌞🚐

🌸Meet our lovely Brenda! 🌸

Brenda recently moved into Oak Grange and has quickly become a very special part of our community. She is always keen to lend a helping hand and can often be found tidying and helping our staff keep the small kitchen areas clean.

This is something Brenda has chosen to do herself, and it gives her a wonderful sense of purpose, independence and being part of the team. And, of course, she absolutely loves bossing our staff around too! 😂

Our lovely Manager, Georgia, decided Brenda deserved her very own uniform to wear whenever she wants, so she can feel just like one of the team. 👩‍🍳💕

We think Brenda looks absolutely fabulous, and we love seeing her so happy, helpful and full of purpose.
