An Afternoon Delight for Residents and Their Relatives

Last weekend, we organised a delicious afternoon tea for residents and their loved ones at West Farm and it went down fabulously!

In fact, it was so popular we decided to hold sessions across both Saturday and Sunday so that we could cater for the high volume of interest we had.

Talking about the sessions, Trish Giles, West Farm’s Registered Manager, said: “Afternoon tea is a great way for residents and their nearest and dearest to spend some quality one to one time over a hot cuppa and a generous slice of cake or a tasty scone. It’s a fab way for families to come together and simply enjoy each other’s company. Residents definitely benefitted from the sessions as they were very upbeat, buoyant and relaxed following them. It was lovely to see everyone come together and the uplifting effect this had on residents.”

Our plan is to hold a series of afternoon tea sessions throughout the year, as it’s something the residents really enjoy and look forward to.

Judith Robson, whose mam Muriel Speed lives at West Farm said: “My husband and I really enjoyed our afternoon tea with my mam. The food was absolutely gorgeous and it was so nice to spend some dedicated time with my mam just relaxing and chatting about everything and anything! Thank you so much to all the staff who were involved in organising it, it meant so much to us and we are already looking forward to our next cuppa and cake!”

What people are saying

"I am very pleased with how my mother has settled in and generally how supportive and caring the staff are. This has given us peace of mind knowing that she is safe & well looked after. Thank you."
"Our mum has been a resident at Cramlington House for over a year and we have nothing but praise for the friendly, approachable staff and management. 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."
