A Sackful of Handmade Cards
This week we received a wonderful delivery, a sack full of handmade cards! There was one for every single resident and member of staff with a message of support and a unique handmade bookmark! One cards’ heart-warming message: ‘Just a note to say Hi and hope you are staying safe during these awful times. Enclosed is a bookmark to remind you that you’re not alone when you look at it’ Best wishes Sue
Clap for the Dream Team
We held our weekly ‘Clap for the Dreamteam!’ to give thanks and to celebrate the team at The Burlington Care Home - thank you all. This weeks’ theme, ‘sunhats & sunglasses’ was styled out by our amazing residents!

Gardening Club
A lovely start to the week for the gardening club and a relaxing cuppa admiring the great work!
“So proud of my wonderful daddy; Marc, pictured here. He has always loved to garden and since being at The BurlIngton he has thrived in this area and created a beautiful oasis on his patio. Now it’s so lovely to see him, with the help of the wonderful activity team, creating more beautiful environments in the rest of the home. Cant wait till we can visit and see it all. We miss you. Lots of love to everyone” Daughter of resident.
Doughnut Time
In the sunshine, we enjoyed a cuppa and delicious freshly baked doughnuts.
We had a go at the ‘no licking your lips’ challenge.. it was impossible!
“Ah doughnuts! Grandpa’s favourite! Hope he enjoyed it.” Grandaughter of resident.
