The home managed my wife’s medical needs…the staff could not have been more helpful. Nothing was too much trouble.

🎶🎸 Afternoon Tea, Music and Memories at Verulam House! 🎂🍓
What a lovely day we had on Wednesday at our Afternoon Tea Party! Neil, our new Home Manager, truly wowed us all with his incredible singing and guitar playing 🎤✨ And the fun didn’t stop there! Some of our amazing team members joined in the musical spirit and sang a few ABBA classics – which went down an absolute treat with everyone! 💃🕺 We also celebrated Elizabeth’s birthday with cake, a chorus of “Happy Birthday,” and lots of smiles. She told us she had a wonderful day! 🎉🎁
Our Home was buzzing with laughter, music, and happiness. Residents and relatives really enjoyed the day, and have even put in a request for Neil to perform again! 🎤✨
With delicious snacks, strawberries and cream, and plenty of cake, we made some truly special memories together. 🍰🍓 Well done to Lynn for organising such a fantastic event! 👏 Your hard work brought so much joy to everyone.

Our Activities Lead, Lynne, and some of our lovely residents headed into the town centre to enjoy the vibrant Alban Day Procession! 🎉🤩
They found the perfect spot on St Peter's Street to watch the colourful parade weave its way through the city all the way to the Cathedral. With giant 12-foot puppets, storytelling and community spirit, it truly was an uplifting experience! And our residents absolutely loved it! 💜😍🎭
