Emily Stubbs

Head of Activities

I joined the Lanercost House family in June 2021 as a Care Assistant and then joined the activities team in May 2022.

I love bringing joy and fun to residents, relatives, and staff on a daily basis as well as planning and organising themed days, events, and celebrations.

I think the activities’ role is very important for Residents' well-being. Whether they like to keep active with armchair exercises, join in with our weekly quiz or hop in the minibus for a day out - there is something for everyone. I aim to ensure that each Resident's interests and hobbies are supported.

I am passionate about creative and sensory activities and I love to sing and dance together with Residents. I love my job!

A Fond Farewell

We all said farewell to Cara Giovannini, one of our wonderful carers, who left to start maternity recently. Cara has been amazing throughout and only took one day off during her pregnancy. We all wish her and the little one the best and hope she enjoys every minute. We can’t wait to meet baby!

Pub Lunch

Katie and Lindsay, two of our amazing carers, dedicated their day off to taking out three residents for a pub lunch. As you can see, it was smiles all round, and everyone had a lovely time. We are proud to have such wonderful staff who take it upon themselves to do things like this in their own time.

60th Birthday Celebrations

Resident, Kaye, celebrated her 60th birthday with staff and loved ones at Lanercost. It was a lovely day!

Farewell, Jane!

We said farewell to to Jane Thompson, who has left us after working for Lanercost for the last 4 years. Jane will be sorely missed and we wish her a happy retirement!
