Abbeyfield Week
It was Abbeyfield week from 6th till the 14th of June. The theme of Abbeyfield week was togetherness, the residents have also started a rock caterpillar chain (painted stones with all different designs) outside of both Westfield House and also May Mills House.
Family and friends are welcome to create their own painted stones and come and add to either of the stone chains outside the homes.
Everyone has been doing lots of fun activities together such as board games, cake decorating, movies, puzzles, writing letters to family and more.

Testimonial
Abbeyfield Quality Standard
Ruth Johnson (Chair of the Board of Trustees) received a certificate after the Society was awarded the Abbeyfield Quality Standard from Brenda Kenyon (Area Meeting Chair) and Julie Bradbury (Membership Consultant).
The AQS is the latest internal mark of quality which all services within the Abbeyfield Family are expected to achieve. Building on the standards that have gone before, the AQS demonstrates Abbeyfield’s ongoing commitment to providing a high-quality service for older people.
The AQS covers both the minimum regulatory standards and the key elements which are central to being part of the Abbeyfield Family. There are six AQS sections; Your Home, Staff, Residents, Volunteers, Marketing and Leadership & Governance. To achieve the AQS, the required outcomes under each section need to be evidenced.
