"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".

The activities team- Ben and Ffion -  did an amazing job in transforming the room to get into the spirit of things. Many residents and staff dressed up and enjoyed an array of cowboy themed music, games and even the local line dancing group came in to show us their dancing skills.

We are delighted to announce that Somerset Redstone Trust, a charitable provider of care for people, rebranded to Amica Care Trust on January 7 2019.

We originated in Somerset 18 years ago and now proudly operate care homes and independent living sites across the UK, providing exceptional care and support.

The Trust decided to rebrand to reflect our work more accurately, to enable opportunities to market our services and to pursue further growth.

We spoke with residents, family and staff to find out what mattered most to them. This led to the creation of our new mission, values, name and brand.

"Our residents are central to everything we do which is why we wanted to involve them as much as we could. Amica means 'friend', and that is what we represent to our residents. Our brand colours represent our commitment to quality, fun and a bright future, however long people stay with us." Keren Wilkinson, CEO of Amica Care Trust.
