| | St. Oswald's Home Located in the village of Upper Flagley, Yorkshire, inhabited by both Muggle and magic folk, is St. Oswald's Home for Old Witches and Wizards. This institution serves as a wizarding nursing home for the elderly, providing a small community within an already co-exisiting community. Residents here are given the opportunity to live comfortably and enjoy their own daily routine with the confidence of safety and support through assisted living and, for seniors with able bodies and minds, independent living. Them having to do magic for a reason is a thing of the past.
St. Oswald's Home boasts about its friendly, light-hearted atmosphere. This is primarily because of the residents who keep the nurses on their toes, all in good fun of course. It is not an uncommon sight to see zimmer frames being conjured into life, knitting wool being enchanted into chaos, and the nurses -- the male ones in particular -- being made to dance the tango. Naturally, the nurses are all good sports about it.
Other than teasing the nurses, the residents take pride in personalizing their living spaces, sharing meals in the community dining room, playing traditional wizarding games and listening to oldies music on the wireless in the living room, spending hours reading in the attached conservatory, gardening on the grounds, and making use of the facility's fitness room and infinity pool. Here great memories and many friendships are made.

| For Ashley!Ella and anyone else, really! Got an oldie? COME PLAAY! Arts TRANSPONSTER! Sophie was super excited too be there that day. She had grown up visiting her grandparents in care homes - the Muggle kind - and she was really looking forward to volunteering in a magical one.
Actually, if she hadn't found her true passion in Charms and working at the Ministry, she would've probably ended up working at one of these. She always found homes to have such a great, lovely environment! "Oop!" She ducked as soon as she saw knitting needles zooming past her head. "My, oh my, I nearly lost an eye! That was close!" She said, and she heard a 'hey, that rhymed!' coming from somewhere in the other room.
That was sure going to be interesting! And she was only at the entrance hall still! |

She laughed a little nervously as she righted herself again, eyeing her best friend of forever with raised eyebrows. "Well, that's one way to greet volunteers. Should I have worn protective gear, you think?" She smiled a little and nudged Soph, looking around as she did. "So, what do we do first?"
