Spring has arrived, and what better way to celebrate than with a delightful day out!

Our Coleraine residents and staff recently visited a local garden in Hamilton, where they enjoyed the sunshine, admired the stunning daffodils, and enjoyed a delicious high tea of cucumber sandwiches, jam tarts, and profiteroles.

Thank you to our wonderful staff for organising such a lovely outing and making the day so enjoyable for our residents.

The Grange residents were delighted to celebrate Father's/Men's Day with a special afternoon tea surrounded by family, friends and staff this week.

It was wonderful to see so many people come together to share stories, laughter and delicious treats. We would like to thank everyone who attended and helped create such a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

A big thank you to our staff who joined in and helped make the afternoon extra special.
