We’ve had some very special new arrivals at Alderwood Care Home 🐣💛
Over the past week, our residents have been part of a truly heartwarming experience — watching our little ducklings grow from tiny eggs into fluffy bundles of joy! From the excitement of the first cracks in the shells to seeing them hatch and begin to explore the world, it’s been a journey full of smiles and wonder.
Our residents absolutely loved spending time with the ducklings, who made gentle visits to rooms and lounges, bringing happiness, laughter, and lots of “aww” moments along the way 🦆✨
And there’s a lovely happy ending too — one of our nurses fell completely in love with them and has now adopted the ducklings, so they’ll continue to be well cared for and cherished 💛
Experiences like this create such meaningful connections and lovely memories for everyone involved. We’re so grateful to have been able to share this special time together 💕

Today we celebrate a very special milestone… happy 106th birthday to our lovely Wanda 💐
Wanda has been part of the Alderwood family for around 15 years, and it was important to us that her day was marked in a gentle and meaningful way. This morning, she enjoyed a beautiful string duet played just for her, filling her room with music and calm. (Video in comments)
Later, Wanda was joined by her family for a quiet afternoon tea, sharing precious moments together. Our wonderful resident choir also popped in to sing to her, bringing smiles and a touch of joy to her day.
Wanda’s room is a reflection of a truly remarkable life, with her 100th birthday card from the Queen proudly displayed alongside cards from the King — a reminder of the many years and memories she holds.
A very special lady, and a privilege for us all to be part of her journey 🤍
🐣🎉 What a fantastic afternoon at our Easter children’s party!
The garden was full of laughter as the children enjoyed dancing, games and balloon modelling. It was heartwarming to see friends, families and residents all coming together to watch the fun unfold 💛
We even spotted a few grown-ups joining in too… proving you’re never too old to join the party! 🕺💃
A truly joyful afternoon making special memories for everyone 🐰✨
