Leaving celebrations
What a fantastic way to celebrate our amazing Manager Hayley as she begins her next chapter — with an unforgettable 80s party!
Hayley has been such a huge part of life here at Hagley Place for so many years. Her kindness, care, passion and dedication have touched the lives of so many residents, families and staff. She has led with heart, always putting others first and making Hagley Place the warm and welcoming home it is today.
She will be greatly missed, but we are so grateful for everything she has given over the years. Thank you, Hayley, for your support, laughter and endless commitment.
Wishing you all the happiness and success for the future — once part of Hagley Place, always part of the family.

Birds of Prey experience
Residents were treated to a Birds of Prey Experience, and were pleasantly surprised to see the birds flying around their garden as SMJ Falconry paid a visit.
General Manager Rebekka said: “Our residents have really enjoyed their unusual visitors today. We knew that having the birds here would be a bit of fun for all our residents, especially as some find it difficult to go on many outings in our minibus. We are always looking for new activities for the residents and today we have seen the seen the enjoyment and the therapeutic influence animals can have on people.”
A fond farewell to retiring colleague
After 12 years of continuous service, much-loved senior nurse Dawn Sharp has decided to retire. Dawn had worked for the company since 1995 across many of Barchester’s services before spending her last 12 years at Strachan House. The home couldn’t have been happier to have Dawn with us throughout the years providing a steady hand and a calm approach.
Staff and residents at the home sent Dawn off in style with flowers, cards and a huge hug of course. Everyone at the home has very fond memories of Dawn and she will be sadly missed. During her time at Strachan House Dawn has been a wonderful nurse, someone dependable with Gladys one of the residents saying Dawns wonderful nature was the reason she was her favourite.
Dawn said: “Strachan House is like a family to me and though I’m looking forward to retirement, I’m really going to miss everyone here so much!”
