The vaccines are being rolled out across the UK in order of priority, with older adults, frontline health and social care teams and care home residents being amongst the first to be offered the vaccine. As a leader in the health and social care sector, Ozzie wanted to actively support the rollout of the vaccine and keep himself and others protected, while encouraging team members across the group to take this important step.

Dear Excelcare family, It’s been a rough past year for everyone and seeing the back of 2020 is, we’re sure, a relief for many of us. This year has been one of challenge, hard work, and most definitely an emotional rollercoaster for us all, but we need to be grateful for life, as sadly not everyone made it this far. We need to be mindful that not all storms come to disrupt our lives, some come to help clear our paths and if everything was perfect, we would never learn nor grow. So whilst the last year has been a time of difficulty, it has also seen great change. We have each grown, innovated, taken risks, and dealt with tough times; and for that we should thank 2020 for inspiring us to keep pushing to try and make a difference. Shortly, we will enter the new year with renewed hope and opportunities and together we will continue to beat Coronavirus. Thank you for being the gold at the end of our rainbow, stay strong and most definitely continue to be supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. Wishing you and your loved ones a bright happy new year. Best wishes, Ozzie & Sam x

Another Christmas season in Cambridge meant another visit from the Cambridgeshire volunteer bikers, and this year four of our homes were lucky enough to be on the list. The Cambridgeshire volunteer bikers are, in their own words, “a group of older, more responsible motorcyclists, who ride together and marshal local bike events.” They have become a much-loved part of the Cambridge scene as every Christmas they dress up as Santa Claus and get on their motorbikes to deliver mince pies to local care homes in Cambridge. It has become a tradition amongst Cambridgeshire communities to watch as they go by and wave to them. Unfortunately, this year the two weekends that the volunteer bikers had dedicated to their cause came with incredibly unkind weather. The first weekend was extremely foggy and the second filled with non-stop rain. However, the bikers were adamant that they would still continue their route, as they knew that everyone needed that Christmas cheer this year now more than ever before.

It goes without saying that the past year has been very challenging for all, both professionally and personally having to adapt to so many changes to our ways of working and our ways of life. Amid the uncertainty and the obstacles that this year has brought, being able to see so many meaningful and positive social media posts, stories, photos and videos of all the wonderful things taking place daily within the Excelcare-family, are inspiring and have truly made a difference to our residents and their families. As Christmas is often a time for reflection, we wanted to recall some of the ways that you have all stepped up to the fight against COVID-19, but there simply are too many for us to list or to be able to select just a few, and that in itself evidences the significant contribution each of you have played; each of you are true heroes with hearts of gold . Excelcare is positioned well to navigate through the challenges that lay ahead, but that is only because of your efforts, commitment and compassion. And we hope that each of you are proud of your personal achievements, however big or small you might consider them to be. Holidays and celebrations may have been put on hold this year, but small acts of friendship and kindness, to our residents, friends, relatives, neighbours and colleagues - have had a bigger impact and created forever-lasting special memories. Whilst it is not Christmas carols, we feel that our ‘Rainbow of Hope’ video link below sums up just how ‘Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious’ each of you are. https://youtu.be/eiKFw914B0c Thank you from the bottom of our hearts; we will most definitely clap loud and proud tomorrow night ‘Christmas Eve’ at 6pm as a token of our appreciation for all you have done this year & to your families also, for the support they have given each of you to deliver above & beyond. Merry Christmas and Best Wishes for a Brighter 2021 xxx

On 6pm Christmas Eve, join the Excelcare family and ring a bell from your doorstep to help spread some Christmas magic! 🎄 We will be making some noise for our amazing teams on the frontline, their families both young and old, as well as the people who live in our care homes who are so dear to us, and their loving families too! #ChristmasMagic2020 #ExcelcareXmas2020

This festive period, each care home in the Excelcare family was challenged to decorate both inside and out with lights, tinsel and trinkets in order to shine bright and spread festive spirit, for the people who live and work there and also to the surrounding community. We wanted this year to be bigger and better than ever before. After much planning, hard work and kind donations of Christmas decorations, on Thursday 3rd December, each care home held their first-ever synchronised Christmas Light Switch-on, with care homes across the group inviting residents, relatives and friends of their homes to celebrate with them in person and virtually, as they watched their lights shine for the first time and joined together in carol singing to spread festive cheer. It was lovely to see members of local communities visit the homes and watch the switch on from a distance. With all homes shining more than ever before and adorned with lights galore, CEO, Ozzie Ertosun and COO, Sam Manning then had the difficult job of judging the competition and deciding upon a winning region; the region with the most innovative, bright and meaningful theme, where each care home would win an interactive activity table! After much deliberation and looking back on each home’s compassion and dedication shown through a year filled with challenges, they decided that each and every care home deserved to be awarded for their efforts, so each has been gifted their own interactive table. Specially designed for care homes, each table is portable allowing them to be easily moved from room to room, and provide a mixture of fun, learning, music, films, nostalgia, sensory activities and games. They can provide daily entertainment and stimulation to older people, including people who live with Dementia. Each care home expressed their excitement at winning their own activity table; expressing how much of a positive difference this would make to the people they support and how they are looking forward to the new opportunities and experiences they will bring. “Congratulations to all 33 care homes and to the amazing Excelcare family for shining bright not just last week, but for this whole entire year,” said Sam Manning as part of her announcement. “An unprecedented and challenging year like no other, you are all our Winners! Ozzie and I give proud and heartful thanks to each of you!”
