Douglas Court Care Home residents have once again shown their community spirit by lending a helping hand to Doorways, a local charity dedicated to supporting people facing homelessness.
There was a special kind of warmth in the room when residents from Moat House Care Home visited Hinckley’s Singing Café this week — an atmosphere filled with soft laughter, familiar melodies and the gentle sound of tambourines. For the residents, these visits have become cherished moments that bring comfort, connection and a sense of togetherness.
As soon as the group from Moat House arrived at The Pathways Centre, they were welcomed by friendly faces and the uplifting energy the café is known for. Many residents eagerly took their seats, recognising the space instantly. For some, the Singing Café has become a highlight of their month — a place where they can step away from routine, enjoy music they love, and feel part of a wider community.
Residents from Kiwi House Care Home enjoyed an unforgettable afternoon of smiles, stories and marshmallow-toasting during a heartwarming visit to Landau Forte Moorhead Primary School. The outing celebrated the magic of intergenerational relationships — and proved once again that when older and younger generations come together, something truly special happens.
The Care Group of the Year nomination is particularly special, as Adept Care Homes proudly won this award in 2024. Being shortlisted again reflects the group’s continued commitment to providing outstanding, resident-focused care across its homes.
Residents across Adept Care Homes have once again put their green fingers to the test in the much-loved Annual Sunflower Competition, with this year’s tallest bloom reaching an incredible 9ft 4in (285cm) at Moat House Care Home.
The competition is a highlight of the year for residents and teams alike. It all begins with a celebratory planting session in spring, when residents plant not only sunflowers but also vegetables and other flowers as part of a wider gardening tradition. Exactly 100 days later, Grounds Manager Richard Mee makes his rounds with the measuring stick to determine which home’s sunflower stands the tallest.

Twice a day, at 11:30am and 3:30pm, the usual routine takes a backseat as the homes pause the hustle for 10 minutes of pure, person-centred joy. Whether it’s a spontaneous sing-along, a quiet chat over tea, a game of dominoes, or a stroll in the garden, the focus is simple: connection.
