A Friendly Game of Pool at The Oaks Care Home 🎱

There was some friendly competition at The Oaks Care Home as residents enjoyed spending time together over a game of pool 😊

The pool table provided the perfect setting for conversation, laughter, and a little light-hearted challenge, with residents showing off their skills and cheering each other on along the way.

Activities like these are a great opportunity to socialise, enjoy shared interests, and spend time with friends in a relaxed atmosphere.

A lovely afternoon of good company, friendly competition, and plenty of pool table action at The Oaks Care Home 💙

ONLY 48 HOURS TO GO! 🏆

Nominations for the 2026 Meallmore Colleague Awards are heading into the final few hours - and we want to make this year bigger and better than ever.

So, who better to tell you why you should nominate than the people who see the difference our colleagues make every day?

💜 Our residents.
💜 Our colleagues.
💜 Our teams.

There’s plenty of passion in this video, but one resident perhaps summed it up best: “Let’s celebrate. Come on guys!”

And June made the nomination process sound pretty straightforward too… “Trust me, it was harder than choosing what to have for dinner!”😂

Across Meallmore, there are colleagues creating meaningful moments every single day.

The person who always goes that little bit further.
The colleague who makes someone smile.
The team that pulls together when it matters.
The person who makes residents and families feel at home.
The colleague whose hard work deserves to be recognised.

Now is your chance to tell us about them.

⏰ Just 48 hours left to nominate.

And please share this post and the nomination link with friends, relatives, and family too. If a Meallmore colleague has made a difference to you or someone you love, we want to hear about it.

A nomination takes just a few minutes.

The recognition can mean so much more. 💜

Come on Meallmore - let’s get those nominations flying in! 🏆👏
