Glad to Care Week 2025 – What a Wonderful Week!
Glad to Care Awareness Week (June 16–21, 2025) is all about celebrating and uplifting dedicated care teams across the UK, shining a spotlight on their passion, dedication and the joy they bring daily. This year, Alexander House Care Home in Exeter embraced themed days and filled our home with laughter and creativity and even a few unexpected critters!
Motivation Monday
We kicked off the week with a gentle morning yoga session to refresh our minds and bodies, accompanied by some light refreshments. It was the perfect way to set a positive tone for the days ahead.
Tune‑It‑Up Tuesday
Our residents were treated to a moving performance by Zara King and to add some sparkle, we served colourful mocktails. Music paired with mocktails, A winning combo!
Wellness Wednesday
Arts & crafts stole the show in the morning. As the sun climbed so did the temperature, so we moved outside to our garden, soaking in the sunshine with plenty of cold drinks, snacks and music. Pure bliss!
Tasty Thursday
We started off with an incredible visit from Animals 2 U South West, residents had the thrill of meeting small animals, reptiles and even a snake! In the afternoon, we kept the theme alive with a cupcake decorating session, crafting sweet treats topped with animal designs, including one centerpiece cake.
Feel Good Friday
After a joyful (and warm) week, we closed the festivities by relaxing in our cinema room, watching an old favourite film, complete with popcorn, drinks and good company.
Why Glad to Care Week Matters
Glad to Care is a national campaign honoring the dedication of care workers and the meaningful impact they have on people’s lives . By taking part in daily themes and live events, we not only boosted spirits but also strengthened connections across our home, bringing joy to both staff and residents alike.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone involved, staff, residents, families and the wider care community. Your enthusiasm and creativity made this week unforgettable.
