Phoenix Park Care Village in Scunthorpe

Phoenix Park Care Village had another amazing review on carehome.co.uk that we wanted to share ? “Our son came to you after a fall, broken ankle, and I cannot fault the care. Even though he’s only 45, he’s happy, well looked after. Your staff have been wonderful.”

The residents celebrated VE Day yesterday, we had good spread and loads of fun and games.

We celebrated VE day by looking at old photos of street parties, old newspapers and ration books.

We enjoyed making these tasty oat and chocolate chip cookies, which we tried out with tea, and we have to say they were delicious! ??
