Mel and Ricky’s dream day out

Greenside Court visited Wentworth Woodhouse for a Classic Car Show last week.

Mel and Ricky were in their element surrounded by amazing cars, they enjoyed lunch and an ice cream to top it off

But the best part? Mel had a lovely surprise spotting his son’s car, and saw some family and his old mechanic! Ricky also made a new friend – what a day

Don't let anything hold you back

It’s big cheers for Sharyn, one of our amazing residents at Acer Mews - Exemplar Health Care

She recently had a leg amputation but hasn’t let that stop her! She's taken back her independence with a brand-new mobility scooter.

Our team put her through a fun driving test, and she passed with flying colours

She was awarded a certificate, L plates, and even personalised number plates!

What an inspiration!

Nurses do more than care - they connect, support and empower

Over the last couple of weeks we've been showcasing this as part of our International Nurses' Day celebrations

We asked the people we support 'What does your Nurse mean to you?', and created an exhibition centred around their heart warming answers.

People connected with our stories, chatted to us about social care nursing, and left messages of thanks to Nurses everywhere

You can still join our celebrations! Visit our online exhibition here https://www.exemplarhc.com/international-nurses-day-2025

The people we support have unique needs and stories, but one thing stays the same across all our homes - we empower individuals to achieve personal goals in a safe and supportive environment.

Every new colleague attends an induction to learn about our company and complete mandatory and role-specific training, equipping you with the skills and knowledge to deliver exceptional care.

Whether your goals are in care, nursing, management, quality or support, we provide the confidence, skills and knowledge to help you excel in your role and advance your career, if you wish.

Happy, healthy colleagues mean better care for those we support. We offer a range of initiatives to ensure our colleagues thrive in safe and supportive environments.
