Compliment today from the family member of a former palliative client: “I have to say your care workers are the best I have ever met. They are well trained and consciousness. Thank you."

I’m triggering a high air pollution alert for London on Tuesday 10 November.
I urge everyone in the capital, especially those most vulnerable, to stay safe and follow health advice to minimise their exposure.
Please switch off engines when idling and avoid burning garden waste, which contributes to pollution.

The Field of Remembrance has a long history of attendance by a member of the Royal Family, transforming the grounds near Westminster Abbey into a poignant sea of wooden crosses bearing poppies.
Usually held on the Thursday before Remembrance Sunday, this ceremony marks the beginning of the nation's formal period of Remembrance. Today, The Duchess of Gloucester represented The Queen by placing a cross at the Field of Remembrance.

This week one of our clients was discharged from palliative care. They are no longer considered palliative by their doctors! This follows a comment last week from their physio that she “had never worked with such an excellent team.” Penrose Care’s home care workers are heroes!

“I have seen the patience required when the vulnerable person you care for is in distress. I have witnessed the tears held at bay when an elderly loved-one no longer recognises your face. I have observed the gentle humour and camaraderie of colleagues that can lighten the heaviest of days. Above all, I have been moved, time and again, by the resilience of those who give so much of themselves while asking for so little in return.
So to those who provide care - whether you wear a uniform or simply the clothes you felt able to pull on in the morning - please know that the great love you show in small ways every day is an example and an inspiration to us all. It is our duty, in return, to ensure it is never taken for granted nor forgotten.”
Ahead of this evening’s Carers’ Reception at Windsor Castle, The King has shared a message to the remarkable individuals who dedicate their lives to the care of others. Read in full on royal.uk.
Thank you to all our wonderful home care workers for doing such great work in 2025. Bringing so much joy to people’s lives everyday and even saving lives from time to time. Wishing you a blessed 2026.

This week two of our workers saved someone’s life in hospital by noticing something was amiss. Turned out a medical device was malfunctioning and would likely have killed the patient if not stopped. The client is now well and recovering. Heroes!

This evening, The King and Queen, The Princess of Wales, Prince George, The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, and The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester attended @PoppyLegion's Festival of Remembrance at the @RoyalAlbertHall, to honour all those who have lost their lives in conflict.

I don’t know what is more of an honour, being spotted as the gentleman cat feeder in BGC, Manila on Reddit or the gentleman litter picker in Belsize Village, London in the Financial Times. LOL.
