Goodbye October and Hello November! – As the days grow shorter and the nights longer, the cooler weather is upon us.  Remember to take care and wrap up to stay warm.  November, the penultimate month of the year, brings with it a significant array of events.

First, we commemorate Guy Fawkes Night, which marks the failed attempt to blow up the Houses of Parliament.

We pay our respects this month on Remembrance Day, honouring those who sacrificed their lives in the Line of Duty. Read More >

We hope everybody had a fantastic September!  A special and warm welcome to our new resident, Irene, staying with us for respite and another lovely welcome to our new carers Fatima and Alison!  Additionally, we are really pleased that Ron has decided to stay with us permanently. Read More >

Goodbye August and Hello September!  We’ve made some lovely memories in August and will continue to do so this month.

September is a month of transition. As summer fades away, the leaves start changing colour, and the days get shorter. We begin to prepare for the cooler months ahead. Read More >

Here is a fun fact! – Did you know that August was originally the sixth month of the tenth month Roman Calendar and had just 29 days?! Julius Caesar added 2 extra days when he created the Julian Calendar, by which point the calendar had become 12 months. Read More >

Goodbye June and Welcome July!

It has been a busy June with celebrations. We celebrated Length of Service for many staff, including 5,10 and 20 Years Service.

We also had an amazing night at the Bromley Care Awards where our very own Donna and Chris were amongst 21 finalists. Everyone was a winner that night.

July promises to be a good month also with beautiful weather, a Peaky Blinders Themed Party (fancy dress encouraged but optional) and several birthdays to celebrate. Read More >

Welcome to June everyone!

Just a little reminder to everyone of our Fundraising Quiz Night that is taking place on Friday 16th June at 7pm. We are fundraising on behalf of the Stroke Association and I look forward to welcoming you to our event.

I held my first residents meeting in May and it was found to be beneficial. I plan for the next one to happen in August, however my door is always open.

As soon as I have a date confirmed, I will email you all inviting you. Read More >

I can’t believe how quick May has come around and with it, brings several bank holidays and the King’s Coronation!  In addition to our daily activities, May will be a busy month.

As we move into the 4th month of the year, let me share a fact or two with you.  In Scotland,  April Fools Day was originally called Huntigowk day – gowk being the name for cuckoo or foolish person. Read More >

On 22nd February, our wonderful resident, Mrs Ira Webber, celebrated her 101st Birthday! It was a pleasure to be able to celebrate with her. Thank you to Ira’s family for providing a cake for all our residents to enjoy and also thank you to our Donna for making one also.

Secondly, we welcomed Mrs Joyce Jobson to Nettlestead in February, who has settled in nicely. Joyce is a leap year baby and celebrated her birthday with us and her family! Read More >

I hope everyone is keeping well and warm. As we move into February and away from the January blues, I’m excited to say that we have a fun packed year of activities for all the residents. Photos will be included in the newsletter but also they will be shared to our facebook page. If you haven’t already liked/followed us, please do so, that way you never miss a thing. Read More >
