Kelly is an Outstanding Manager!

We'd like to celebrate the Registered Manager from Summer Fields Care Home, Kelly Crabtree. Kelly has been with the company just eighteen months, but has been able to make some amazing changes that benefit staff members and residents. Kelly was awarded an 'Outstanding Performance' certificate and a beautiful bunch of flowers for her hard work, passion and determination.

Our Managing Director Vicki says...

"Kelly has made many positive changes to Summer Fields since she started eighteen months ago. She clearly has a vision, and is so dedicated to getting the home where she'd like it to be. Kelly has inspired a motivated team of staff, which has helped the smooth running of the home and aids its continuing success.

Kelly has worked so hard, and the home's popularity is going from strength to strength. We now have a home that is bursting at the seams. This is an incredible achievement, and just shows the benefits of putting your heart and soul into your workplace.

I know that all of our managers and staff members work very hard in their respective roles. However, I have to take my hat off to Kelly and her team for the effort they continue to plough into Summer Fields Care Home. I congratulate her heartily on the home's continued success. Thank you and well done!"

Kelly is a testament to hard work and determination and a credit to her home. Your team, and we are very grateful for your presence, enthusiasm and encouragement.

Christmas Cards of Kindness

If you follow our Postcards of Kindness project on Facebook you'll know we recently partnered with thortful.com cards to raise money for Dementia Adventure via a very special collection of postcards. Detailed below, the concepts for the cards were developed by members of the charity's special interest group, each one living with a form of dementia, and brought to life by members of thortful's community of creators. The idea is very simple; via the thortful app anyone will be able to choose a postcard and send Christmas wishes and memories to any of our 1,000+ care homes registered with Postcards of Kindness. 100% of the profits from each card's sale will go to Dementia Adventure, a charity that promotes, organises and funds outdoor adventures for those living with dementia. The hope is that each card will trigger nostalgia or inspire a conversation, to let care home residents know they're not alone this Christmas - a priceless outcome for just 99p. The cards can

My Week With Your Health Limited

My work experience wasn’t what I had expected. As someone who has always wanted to work in care or medicine, going to a care home was my first thought when told I needed to find a work experience placement. When Your Health Limited accepted me for the week, I was ecstatic. Yes, I couldn’t be based at a care home for the whole week, and that was slightly disappointing, but I could still experience what care was like, and get a look behind the scenes as well. The first care home I went to was Langwith Lodge, in Nottinghamshire. Not having been to many care homes beforehand, I wasn’t entirely sure what I was going to see, or what to expect. Would everyone just stay in their beds, eating, sleeping and never truly aware of the world? Whatever I expected, it didn’t come close to what I actually found. The residents were moving freely around the home, engaging in the different activities on offer, chatting with the carers and other residents. It was incredible; you’d almost never
