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.

The residents have been busy preparing their homes for Christmas Day. Along with the traditional baubles, the residents have been busy making their own decorations - helped by our amazing Amica Care Trust Activity Teams.
The residents have also helped to bake their own Christmas Cakes - a piece of which will be saved for the 'Taste Committee' (aka Head Office Staff), who will pronounce the winner in when restrictions are lifted.
Our judges had a wonderful few days visiting all the homes and were delighted by the stunning Christmas displays. They were also treated to a Nativity play, starring the residents, and sang along to the carols.
