They’ve been getting hands-on with interactive food pyramids, tasting new ingredients, and learning how small changes can make a big difference

"The food is fabulous. The staff at Tees Grange have really helped me with my diet and exercise. I'm feeling healthier and I’m losing weight. I just feel better in myself!”

A fantastic achievement to celebrate!

Last week, one of our residents made her own lunch - her first time cooking in three years ️

Taking that step has given her a real sense of pride, and it’s brilliant to see her confidence grow

Who better to talk about person-centred care than someone who experiences it every day?

Adam, one of our Service User Ambassadors, recently joined the induction at our brand new home, Leger Grove, to meet the new team and share his experiences of living in one of our care homes

He answered questions, shared insights, and helped our new colleagues understand just how important personalised care is - and how much of a difference they can make

Friendships are an important part of every day life. They bring joy, laughter and support when we need it most

Recently, Alex moved to Maypole Grove to be nearer family, a move that she was nervous for.

In steps Abi ️

Abi is the home's Service User Ambassador, and was a huge support to Alex throughout the move. Now, they're inseparable!

"My friendship with Alex has changed me as a person. Her confidence and personality has already had an impact and had me doing things I never thought I would - such as singing on the karaoke at the social club!”

And Alex values their friendship just as much: "She's a good listener as well as a laugh to be around. It's lovely to have a friend like Abi."

We can't wait to see how their friendship blossoms
