A care home in Knebworth has thanked those who have gone the extra mile to support residents throughout the coronavirus pandemic, from members of the community to its dedicated team.

Care UK’s Knebworth, on London Road, has expressed its gratitude for the consideration and generosity shown by local people over the past couple of months.

From volunteering, to delivering messages and artwork to brighten everyone’s day, individuals and organisations have pulled together to support the older members of the community, and Care UK homes across the country have been overwhelmed by the kind gestures of local people.

Knebworth has been inundated with support, receiving letters and drawings from local children, as well as a donation of blank mugs from Potstop Knebworth for an afternoon of pottery painting. Team members were also treated to tokens of appreciation from local Morrison’s and Waitrose branches, and were given handmade laundry bags on behalf of Woolmer Green NHS.

Relatives of residents have also shown huge support for the Knebworth team, sending messages of thanks along with sweet treats to keep morale high.

Whether it’s baking for a resident’s birthday, keeping the morale up through creative activities or organising for an African Land Snail to live at the home, team members at Knebworth have been praised for their unwavering dedication and relentless efforts over the past few months.

Vera Moreira-Henocq home manager at Knebworth, said: “We want to thank everyone in Knebworth for their continued kindness throughout this challenging time. 

“Here at Knebworth, we play an active role in our community, and it’s been overwhelming to see how many people have reached out to support us in the last couple of months.

“Both residents and team members are looking forward to welcoming back local people into Knebworth to say thank you when we are able.”

Knebworth delivers a full range of residential care for older people, including short-term respite care, nursing care and specialist care for people living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia.
