With the home closed to visitors for the time being, we’ll be putting in place some unique ways in which you can have face to face contact with your loved ones in a totally secure way.
We will keep you posted via our social media channels.
We’re kicking the week off with an interactiveMe session. For those who don’t know, interactiveMe is a tool offered to residents which offers instant access to memorabilia and stimulates their minds.
Likes and dislikes, old photos, favourite music, and anything other interests can be accessed at the click of a button.

Who doesn’t love a quiz? We’ve got a few fun-filled quizzes today with our residents to keep their minds active and keep them smiling and laughing!
We’d like to reassure the families and friends of our residents that we have a rigorous testing system in place at Westacre. All of our staff are regularly tested for the virus to ensure that we keep our home safe and secure.
As the cost of essential PPE rises, it is welcome relief that care homes will now receive free protective equipment until March. Throughout the pandemic, we have been very resourceful in sourcing our own PPE and have had help from several organisations.
This is an essential component to ensure that we can provide safe care to residents.
We have had to make the decision to temporarily halt visits to the home. As coronavirus cases rise in the UK, it is our duty to be proactive for the safety of our residents and ensure the virus does not enter the home.
To maintain a vital connection with families and friends, all residents will have access to phone calls and video calls.
Do you know someone who is looking for a part-time nursing role? We have a position available for 24.5 hours a week for nurses who are passionate, positive and committed to delivering the highest standard of care.
To apply or find out more information, please email: hollie.boylan@westacrenursinghome.co.uk
Give a warm welcome to our new manager, Lynne Seymour. Lynne is a very experienced care professional who is looking forward to maintaining the high level of care that Westacre offers, introducing new care initiatives, and working closely with our residents, their families, and our team of professional staff.

Miss you so much !
It’s been fantastic to safely resume family visits in our garden. We are currently monitoring the COVID-19 situation and wanted to remind you all that if we feel it is necessary, we will temporarily stop face-to-face visits. This is in order to protect our residents and staff.
As it stands, you can still enjoy your face-to-face visits!
In today’s activity with the residents we look back on Prime Ministers of old. UK Politics has always been a good discussion topic in nearly every household in the UK, whether you agree or disagree on what the ministers decide. But one thing for sure the PM’s become very well known.
So today our residents are discussing PM’s who have impacted our lives over the years. Which ones do you remember and can you name them? Have a go below….
