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.

"Just a brief email to say my sincere thanks to all who looked after mom (and me) over the last few days and over the last 5 years. I have been writing a blog for some time now and this inauspicious moment has made it. It possibly demonstrates not just how grateful I am to you all but also how much mom loved St John's Court Care Home in Bromsgrove and all the staff. The home is truly a credit to the Care Home system and you and the staff the finest example of how things can be done".
From Admin: Thank you so much for allowing us to share your story in the link below. Your mum will be very sadly missed by us all at St. John's Court.
