What happens when a passion for dance becomes part of your day job?

For Bob, a Care Assistant at Anchor - St Edith's Court, it means bringing music, movement and plenty of encouragement to regular Zest sessions with residents.

Bob has been delivering Zest at the care home since completing his training, and says it’s his favourite part of the job.

“It’s my favourite part of the job. We all feel good after it.”

It’s lovely to see Bob using something he’s passionate about to help residents stay active, have fun and enjoy time together. 💜 Zest Wellbeing

Our home won an award at the awards evening last week for having the least agency staff come on a day to day basic, so our home manager decided to buy her staff a coffee machine to show her appreciation to all the staff members who make it possible that here at Hatton grange has very little agency staff 😊

The staff were very happy with the coffee machine and will enjoy having a cuppa or two 😀 its all about team work.
