Thank you from us to you. Over the past few weeks residents across Abbeyfield have received wonderful letters from their local community wishing them well. They have brought such joy to our homes that we wanted to say thank you.
One of the things we pride ourselves on at Abbeyfield is our connection to our local communities. Our homes can often be found on residential roads, near to churches or schools and form a big part of the character of their town.
We regularly share posts of school children and volunteers visiting our homes to meet our residents, perform a talent, help with coffee mornings or just popping in to say hi.
Over the past few weeks we haven't been able to have people pop in to visit and whilst our residents are keeping themselves busy with crafts, exercise and activities, we still miss our friends.
That's why when you send us letters to wish us well and hope we're keeping safe, it warms our hearts!
Take Westall House - they have has so many wonderful letters they've been able to create a display in their garden room!
The letters have come from local preschools, primary schools, children and grandchildren of our staff members, and even a letter from as far as Hertfordshire (over 80 miles away!).
Between the staff and residents, they are trying to respond to the letters but they feel almost as busy as Santa in the lead up to Christmas!
You can read one of the lovely letters below.
Our residents have been so touched by this they wanted us to say a massive thank you and we hope to see you all very soon!
