Northumberlandia Walk Conquered!

We just wanted to say a HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to those members of staff who took part in, and completed, the recent Northumberlandia walk that we organised as part of our Better Health at Work programme.

Nine members of staff from across Cramlington House and West Farm Care Centre took part, along with some of their partners, children and even dogs! The walk, which consists of four miles of footpaths on and around the landform, was no short stroll and those who took part ensured they completed some training before had and were also equipped for the challenge.

Speaking about the team’s achievement, our General Manager Loraine Brunton said: “I am super proud of those who took part in the walk. As a company, we are extremely focused on encouraging our staff to adopt healthier lifestyles at work and we are keen to take part in activities away from work that focus on improving wellbeing. It was an absolutely amazing day, and everyone really put the effort in. Thanks to all of you for completing this challenging walk, what superstars!”

What people are saying

We always feel like part of an extended family and when we visit nothing is too much bother. We are completely happy with the standard of care, support and understanding we all receive as a family."

  • "From the first day, I knew it was the place for my mum. Clean, friendly staff, lovely environment! My mum would not get the opportunity to do the activities she is experiencing if she was not in Cramlington House. It is home from home and we can visit anytime. I can't say enough of how great Cramlington House is. "

  • "This is an absolutely superb care facility. The staff say that this is the home of the residents, in which they work - and they evidence that philosophy every day. In the last months of our mother's long life, we took comfort form the fact that she was safe and secure, being well-fed and looked after. The entire care team are brilliant. "

  • "All the staff at West Farm have provided such wonderful care, compassion and support to my auntie. We both feel incredibly lucky to have found West Farm, it’s been the perfect home for my auntie. I can honestly say, hand on heart, every aspect of the care provided by each member of staff at West Farm has been outstanding."
