One of our lovely residents, Pat Fairbairn turned 80 yesterday - and she doesn't look a day over 60! It must be all the good living and fun times she has at Castle View with her husband and new found friends! The residents got together (practising social distancing) and turned our sky lounge into the Ritz for Afternoon Tea! It was a big surprise for Pat and it was a wonderful afternoon! Thanks to residents and to Caz, our catering manager for organising.

All of our residents look forward to their daily catch up and they never seem to run out of conversation - the Castle View family has grown even closer over lockdown with tales of intersting lives and stories of current events and activities are always high up on the conversation agenda!

Our CEO, Robin Hughes loves spending time with our residents whilst in lockdown at Castle View. All of our residents have their groceries delivered to our buggy store in front of reception. Every item is sanitised before being brought into the village to ensure all of our residents remain safe and well. Even Robin gets involved and helped take shopping to one of our lovely resident's apartment

All our residents are currently thriving at Castle View and came out in force to wave flags, sing and gently exercise to the Andrews Sisters singing 'In the Mood'.
Lisa Fisher, our Village Manager, planned a whole day of events to celebrate the momentous occasion. After decorating the building with bunting, with a bit of resident help!, there was singing, dancing, prosecco, cream teas and finally joining the Queen by singing a long to 'We'll Meet Again....' in our fabulous Sky Lounge.

Our goal is to complete by 15th September by walking laps of the grounds and the Sky Lounge Terrace. We have already raised over £600 for the NHS - so not only are residents and staff keeping fit and healthy, we are raising money for all the amazing work the NHS staff are doing. Well done everyone!
