We are Outstanding!!!!!!

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that following our inspection in October 2018 we have been rated Outstanding. This means a great deal to Management & staff here as few care homes are awarded this rating but we are so delighted that the staff have received the recognition we feel they truly deserve.

St Georges building work complete!

Our home has had it's exterior walls repainted throughout July & the work is now complete, & the scaffolding has finally gone.  We couldn't lose our iconic pink 'look'as the building has been pink since it was built back in Victorian times.  Along with the new driveway tarmac we hope you'll agree......we're looking very smart!  Thanks to everyone for their patience throughout the disruption, normal service has now been resumed!

Georgie has arrived!

We have a new resident.....Georgie the baby Horsefield tortoise!!  We felt we all needed a pet here at St Georges and Georgie is just perfect.  We are already enjoying helping to bathe and feed him (or her.....we won't know for a good few more years!).  Georgie can be found in the sun lounge if anyone would like to meet him.

January

A slightly quieter month . The highlight of the month was out Burns lunch celebration . We enjoyed some traditional Scottish Fare,  haggis, scottish tablet and tea cakes . We have also enjoyed some craft sessions making bird feeders and sun catchers . The bulbs we planted in the Autumn are finally starting to appear. We are looking forward to the Spring. 

December

In true form we celebrated Christmas in Style . We enjoyed carol concerts , parties and lots of sparkle. A christmas donkey came to visit us and the staff entertained the residents at their Christmas party. We put on our party frocks and went out for lunch at the Beambridge Inn. Fred produced a wonderful lunch on Christmas Day. On New Years Eve we saw the new year in at lunch time with bubbles and the chimes, we then played traditional game in the afternoon 

November

We finally saw a change in the weather. We wrapped up well for Bonfire night and enjoyed lovely fire works and sparklers. We also packed up our charity boxes for operation Christmas Child.

October

The work continued and there was the inevitable delay. We did not let it get us down , the residents referred to it as our 'Dunkirk spirit". To get away from the noise we went out for afternoon tea. Finally the great day arrived and we had an official opening of the lounge . Edna and Charlie from BBC Somerset cut the ribbon. We marked the occasion with a party . We are really enjoying the beautiful new lounge.

September

Well what a busy month. We had to move out of the lounge so that the contractors could commence on the lounge refurbishment. However this did not dampen our spirits . We held a coffee morning for Macmillan cancer care and raised £70. 

August

We had a very busy month supporting our teams during the Olympics. We enjoyed a sensory afternoon tasting some exotic fruits,and chocolates ,smelling beautiful oils and sampling some colourful cocktails. Our vegetables grew really well and we have big plans for next year. A large group of us attended the Taunton flower show and wondered at the beautiful displays.
