The Old Vicarage Care Home

In preparation for Remembrance Sunday, residents came together to create beautiful poppy wreaths and decorations. This meaningful activity provided an opportunity for residents to share memories, reflect, and connect with one another, deepening the sense of community here at The Old Vicarage. As they worked on their decorations, conversations flowed, stories were shared, and a collective pride emerged. Each decoration crafted represents our residents’ respect and gratitude fo

Residents helped to make some delicious spooky fruity Halloween treats for all to enjoy. For many of our residents, marking Halloween is a treasured link to their family’s Halloween traditions. Taking part in such activities transports them back to the warmth of family gatherings, bringing comfort and joy.

The humble apple was the centre of our celebrations at The Old Vicarage as we marked the fruit’s national day. Residents tasted lots of different varieties of apples and enjoyed fresh apple juice whilst painting.

Residents celebrated International Day of Charity with a visit to The Cancer Research Shop in St Neots Town Centre with a donation of jigsaws, vases, board games and clothes before heading off to the Market Square to enjoy an ice cream together in the sunshine. The day is a global reminder of how every act of giving, no matter how big or small, has the potential to change lives, uplift communities, and create a ripple effect of hope.

Our garden was bursting with summer spirit as residents, relatives, friends and staff came together to enjoy a spectacular Summer Garden Party. The day was filled with sunshine, laughter and cherished memories. Everyone was treated to a sizzling BBQ, music from our entertainer Mike, an exciting raffle and a children's games corner for our younger visitors! The event was a reflection of the community spirit that The Old Vicarage is proud to nurture.
