We love when people come to see us and today at Yorklea, we had some furry visitors! We had lots of fun and cuddles with ‘Jinny’ and ‘Luna’ – we cant wait for them to come back!

It’s never an easy time when you or a loved one has to first move to a care home. Many people feel that they are giving up their previous lives and will become disconnected from friends and family. If the transition to a care home isn’t handled the right way, it can be a highly emotional and sometimes traumatic experience.
At Olea Care, we prioritise providing our residents with the support and guidance they need to settle into their new homes easily and quickly.

It was Sports Day at Fernlea and Fernbees yesterday! Everyone (team included) competed in the egg and spoon, sack race, and beanbag races! We even had a Balloon Volleyball tournament! We cannot be 100% sure that everyone played to the rules but we absolutely can say that we all had a great time, despite the… Read more »

This week it was Friendship Day. We asked our residents at Yorklea their advice for strong friendships and they had some lovely things to say.

Making the choice to enter a nursing home yourself or have a loved one enter a nursing home isn’t easy. Many people are under the impression that nursing homes provide less-than-stellar standards of care. However, most reputable nursing homes now strive to implement innovative ways of ensuring that the residents receive services that not only keep them in good physical health but also ensure their mental well-being.

At Olea Care, we commit to ensuring we are as Environmentally Sustainable as possible. By limiting our waste, using less single use plastic and implementing plastic recycling systems across all services, we have helped reduce our impact on our environment.

We are incredibly grateful to @porschecentrewilmslow who kindly brought an array of beautiful cars to Fernlea after one of our residents expressed a desire to sit in a sports car. Charles and Sienna were absolutely brilliant in explaining the cars to our residents and we were lucky enough that they agreed, not only for a… Read more »
