Christmas is coming!

Now that it’s November we are so excited to finally be able to talk about Christmas and do lots of Christmas- related activities!

Our first Christmas-themed activity was at our local garden centre and it did not disappoint! We enjoyed a lovely cuppa and slice of cake and perused the centre, admiring all of the amazing Christmas decorations.

Kim Stubbs, our activity manager at Cramlington House, said: “We were so excited to visit iur local garden centre as we kicked off our Christmas celebrations in style! The decorations look fab, and we enjoyed looking at all the Christmas baubles and lights too. The residents really enjoyed their trip to the garden centre which provided a great opportunity to socialise with the wider public and get into the Christmas spirit. The decorations are great for sensory stimulation and also help to evoke memories about Christmas and what it means to them. It was such a lovely afternoon.”

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. "
