Here at Cedar Care, we are deeply saddened by the passing of her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday the 8^th of September.

She was our longest serving monarch and the single strand that connects all of us, young and old, in a shared history that stretches from the early part of the 20^th century to our present place in the 21^st.

This is a time to mourn but also a time to reflect and to celebrate. To reflect on the passing of time and all that it entails. To reflect on family and what we mean to each other.  To reflect on the young woman who was never intended to take on this role – and to celebrate the strength and character it took to give wholly and devoutly to those she led through times of hardship and times of great change. She was mother, grandmother and great grandmother not just to her own family, but to a family of nations. 

Today at Oakhill Mansions we have awarded Mariya, our Domestic Assistant, a Gold Star as a symbol of her hard work. Mariya is working on the busiest floor in the building and even though, she manages to keep the place spotless! Her colleagues are describing her as a very hard working, dedicated person who would never refuse help anyone if they need it. Congrats Mariya! 💪
