🏎️⭐ It’s Never Too Late to Chase a Dream ⭐🏎️

Nick and Robert, residents at Silverbirch House Care Home in Guildford, had always dreamed of getting behind the wheel of a fast car – and that dream became a reality with a thrilling visit to Mercedes-Benz World.

Nick and Robert have lived at the home for over 18 months and are much loved by staff and fellow residents. The team were over the moon to make this dream a reality and seeing the joy on their faces made it all the more special.

The gentlemen had a brilliant time exploring the stunning cars on display — and the highlight of the day? Getting behind the wheel for a test drive experience!

In response to this fantastic experience, Nick shared: “It is such an amazing feeling to know that such a loving group of people care so much about me that they helped me to live out a dream – and I didn’t even ask.”

It’s never too late to make memories that matter.

Audrey and Christine, residents at Llys-Y-Tywysog Care Home in , had their wish granted when they asked to attend a football match via the home’s Wishing Washing Line.

Thanks to the team at Swansea Stadium, they enjoyed a brilliant day out – from start to finish, it was an unforgettable experience. The ladies enjoyed a warm welcome, a special meet-and-greet with veteran players and a prime spot in the stands to watch an action-packed Swansea vs Oxford game.

Audrey had been a devoted Swans supporter for over 20 years, with fond memories of watching her beloved team at the old Vetch Field, where she never missed a match.

Christine, a passionate Arsenal fan and former Oxford Ladies goalkeeper, was delighted to see the teams in action.
To top off an incredible day, there was even a visit to the club shop – where Audrey and Christine picked up their very own mascots.

🍰☕ A Taste of The Savoy Comes to Collingtree Park 🍰☕

A little piece of The Savoy’s iconic afternoon tea came to Collingtree Park Care Home in Northampton recently, all in honour of two lovely residents, Betty and Jean.

At Christmas, both ladies made a wish for afternoon tea at The Savoy. Determined to make it happen, Martin, Activities Coordinator at the home, reached out to The Savoy Hotel in London to see if they might be able to help.

To everyone’s delight, the Manager of The Gallery at The Savoy, responded with generosity and enthusiasm. She arranged for a beautiful hamper to be sent to the home, including exclusive Wedgwood China, loose leaf tea, miniature preserves and even a recipe for the famous Savoy scones – allowing the home to recreate the experience.

Betty and Jean were over the moon. A big thank you to all involved in making this a truly special afternoon to remember. 👏

🏆 RoSPA Fall Prevention Trophy 🏆

We’re celebrating yet another health and safety triumph after being named winner of the prestigious RoSPA Fall Prevention Trophy for our world-leading track record in minimising falls in our 265 care homes and hospitals.

As part of the rigorous evidence-based entry criteria, a team from RoSPA interviewed a number of our residents about their experiences living in Barchester homes. Heather, a resident from Waterside Court Care Home in , commented: “My husband lives with Parkinson’s disease and was falling frequently in our family home. Since we moved into Waterside Court over a year ago, he has not had a single fall. We are delighted with the care and support he receives here.”

Pete Calveley, our CEO, said: “Health and safety is without doubt the most important component of our care. I am exceptionally proud of the unstinting effort of every single team member in our homes to keep our residents and patients safe and reduce the risk of any falls to an absolute minimum. The work that Barchester has put into falls prevention is evident in our exemplary track record so it is wonderful to be recognised as the leader across our entire industry in this incredibly important field.”
