LIFE AT THE DEVONSHIRE - ADVENT WINDOWS OF MAGIC

With so much festive fun to explore, peek behind our heart-warming door as we open with a December to remember.

Jacqui, Barbara, Jaqueline and Andy were stars of the show as they decked the halls! Our felt ornaments are safety conscious and encourage our Residents to decorate.

Feast your mince pies on our ‘Lights of Hope!’ Family members and Residents were wrapped up warm under heaters as we enjoyed carols and mulled wine.

XMAS JUMPER DAY!

On Christmas Jumper Day, our Residents and staff members were in stitches over our fun, festive friendly and rather glamorous collection of attire!

(Sings) - “A Caring Home, A Caring Home, (A Caring) - We’re A Caring Home!’- Football may not have ‘come home’, but friendships did as our diverse group set up in a united formation bound by sport. Angelo waved his Italian flag with pride, Florence got sentimental about Sweden and Beatrice blushed over France.

A CHRISTMAS CAROL

We were paid a very special visit by Richard Challoner School, who were worth the two year wait (due to covid) as they were pitch perfect, delivering notes of joy to our Residents and staff members. Kathleen loved it so much she begun to dance!
