OSJCT Moments
In these unprecedented times, our care teams are continuing to provide loving care to all of our residents, who are creating happy memories and we wanted to share some of those inspired moments with our residents and communities.
Thank you Morrisons and Cafe Nero!
Morrisons donated food items to Gregory House and flowers to Whitefriars which also received a food package from Café Nero.
Donation from Superdrug
Superdrug in Abingdon very kindly managed to source Old Station House 40 large and 40 small bottles of hand gel.
Thank you from Gregory House
The generosity of the local Community over the past few weeks, has overwhelmed the staff at Gregory House on Welby Gardens in Grantham.
What started off as drawings through the door from neighbouring children and a supermarket drop off has expanded into daily deliveries of care packages for residents and staff as well as vital PPE and welcome treats.
Home Manager, Anna Lewkowicz said "We cannot even begin to thank everyone as there has been so many kind and generous people, but I would like express our sincere gratitude to Grantham Lions, Ropsley WI, Kings School, Robert Pattinson School in North Hykeham, Totemic and special friends of the home, Robin Dickinson, Marlene Brown and Sandi Macmillan-Bunn – you are all truly amazing people and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts."
Resident, Jean Miller said: "I am so happy with my goodie bag from Grantham Lions, receiving this has put a big smile on my face."
Well done to The Lakes Care Centre!
The team at The Lakes Care Centre enjoyed chocolate and cake all round after not just one employee but the whole team were nominated for the home's Employee of the Month award for March in recognition of their hard work switching shifts, taking on extra shifts and working in different departments.

Residents at The Meadows were delighted to receive a donation of orchids and potted plants from Chilton Garden Centre.
Donations for Emerine House
Ermine House has received donations of food from both Tesco on Wragby Road, Lincoln and Costa at The Carlton Centre, but the highlight for employees was when The Fish King sent over freshly cooked fish, chips and mushy peas for the team.
Decorative Holmes and The Flower Man donation
