During Mum's end-of-life care, the staff were really kind and thoughtful in many small ways that made her passing as comfortable as possible.

I have recently been appointed as Activities Coordinator here at Somerleigh Court. I have introduced a theme of the month, which is Transport for June with sensory reminder backdrops. Also we are now doing Wellness therapy everyday so every resident can experience the therapy every week. The residents are loving this activity 🥰🫶🏻🚴♀️🚀🚤🚗🚛
