Pax Hill Care Home

A Father's day celebration in the sunshine for our dads and their families. Afternoon tea and some wonderful opera singing. ❣️

We were delighted to be joined today by Scouting leaders from across Norway. Pax Hill was the home of Lord Baden-Powell - Powell, founder of the Scouting movement. It was an absolute pleasure to meet you all, and to share with you the recent history of Pax Hill

When it doesn't feel like summer outside we bring the sunshine into our winter garden. 🌸

It’s beginning to look a lot like summer ☀️🍉🌿

Enjoying some fresh air and a catch up in the courtyard. Firm friends are made here at Pax Hill ❤️

We're celebrating International Nurses Day today. Our Nurses do an amazing job 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A heartfelt thank you to our nurses and nurses everywhere for the tireless work that you do.

As you know we love a cup of tea here at Pax Hill. Thank you to everyone for coming along for Time for a Cuppa yesterday. The kitchen provided some fabulous cakes and Charlie the chef's almost legendary cheese straws! The plant sale continues over the weekend so we'll update you next week on how much you helped us raise for Dementia UK. ❤️

Pop in and join us for a cup of tea next Thursday, to raise funds for Dementia UK. We'll have a plant sale outside Reception and lots of cakes inside Reception! ❤️
