🎨✨ Dip, dab, blend and splash — every brushstroke brought a little colour to life!

Residents at Westwood House got creative during a wonderful art session with Julia, experimenting with watercolours, brushes and sponges to create their own individual pieces. From soft washes of colour to brighter, bolder strokes, everyone was encouraged to make the artwork completely their own. 🖌️🌈

There was plenty of concentration around the table, but just as many smiles, conversations and moments of inspiration along the way. A lovely session celebrating creativity, self-expression and the simple joy of making something yourself. 💛

This month, our Care and Life Enrichment Framework focus is “Attracting and Developing the Best People.”

We were delighted to welcome the Lewisham CHIT team to Westwood House for a practical dementia training workshop.

It was a great opportunity for our nurses, carers, senior carers, management and hospitality teams to come together, share experiences and build on their knowledge of dementia care.

A big thank you to Sarah and her team from Lewisham CHIT for taking the time to deliver such an informative and engaging session. It was lovely to have you with us!

At Westwood House, we believe great care starts with great people, and we’re proud to keep investing in our team.

🧩🌿 Piece by piece, smile by smile… the picture started coming to life!

Residents at Westwood House enjoyed a relaxing jigsaw session out in the garden, working together to search, match and fit every little piece into place. With plenty of concentration, teamwork and a few laughs along the way, it was a lovely way to spend time together in the fresh air. 💛

Sometimes it’s the simple moments — good company, a little challenge and time shared together — that make the best afternoons. ✨

The team at Derham House Care Home in were delighted to help one of their much-loved residents, June, enjoy a very special day when she attended her granddaughter’s wedding blessing at St Helen & St Giles Church in Rainham, surrounded by family and friends.

Following the service, the celebrations continued back at Derham House, where family and friends gathered for a reception.

June, who recently turned 89, commented: “I have had such a marvellous day, my granddaughter, Keeley, looks absolutely beautiful, I am over the moon for her and Daniel, they are such a gorgeous couple. It has been fantastic to celebrate with them and have all my family together.”

What an unforgettable day for all involved! 👏
