Our Amica Care homes held an uplifting service to commemorate residents who passed away over the last year. Residents and staff, along with the families whose loved ones had passed away over the last 16 months, came together for a moving afternoon of remembrance.
Amica Care Trust’s staff and residents will be hosting their annual ‘Forget Me Not’ celebration on Sunday 18th July to reflect upon the events of the last year.
Amica Care is going to be using TAP (Thank And Praise), a free-to-use social thanking platform, which enables residents and their relatives to show their appreciation to all those working for the Trust.
To mark Dementia Action Week, residents of Signature House in Dorchester welcomed an adorable guest. A tiny lamb came to visit to get some love and affection from our residents.
Residents of St John’s Court Nursing Home in Bromsgrove welcomed some unusual guests for Dementia Action Week. Lollipop and Moomin, two miniature ponies, from local business Lollipop Ponies, came and raised smiles all around.
Today, we celebrate International Nurses Day and we want to give a huge shout out to all our nurses working tirelessly for our residents across our nursing and social care homes.
So what a better way to celebrate than by sharing with you this lovely poem written by one of our residents, Molly.
COVID-19 has been challenging for everyone, especially for our residents, their family and friends unable to visit each other during lockdowns. With visitors now allowed to come back to see their loved one, here is a visual guide on things to consider when visiting one of our homes.
Amica Care Trust is looking for dedicated people to join our Board of Trustees. The Trust owns and operates five nursing and social care homes, located in Bromsgrove, Crewkerne, Dorchester and Exmouth. The trust is also the freeholder of 183 independent living apartments and cottages and an older persons' independent living complex.
The standard, as per usual, was superb in both our Christmas competitions this year. Our residents and their activity teams really pulled out all the stops to make this a really special Christmas, despite not being able to spend it with their loved ones. However, there must be winners and we would like to announce that Housman Court won the Decoration Competition and Signature House the Cake Competition. Congratulations to both of them and to everyone who participated.
Our very talented maintenance officer, Garth, has redecorated the lounge and built some rather snazzy bookcases. Well done Garth! Click on the Read More button to see some photos.
