An afternoon of dancing today! Smit wasn’t quite sure what to do with his arms, but what a lovely afternoon. Stay here for a short video

Fire training was a huge success, the team had the opportunity to tackle a live fire to ensure we are all prepared should the need arise. Well done ladies and gents.

Some iconic Karaoke action from the lovely Linda and her grandson yesterday! What a fantastic time we had while trying not to deafen everyone.
The Hollies clan will return to keep you on your feet ladies and gents, we will keep trying not to deafen our residents. 🤣🤣

A few of our lovely residents were enjoying the sunshine & fresh air today, some enjoying a G&T too.

We were lucky enough to have Smit and his lovely wife cook an authentic home cooked Indian meal for our residents on Monday.
Thank you both. What a treat.
