Celebrating life at Barchester

Congratulations Abi Byrne on two decades of dedicated service at Tyspane Care Home. You have been a pillar of our organisation. 

Abi is someone who represents deep institutional knowledge and steady commitment. Throughout her time at Tyspane Care Home, she has mentored younger colleagues, weathered major transitions, and helped build a successful workplace and operational environment. Abi combines strong reliability, open communication, and a willingness to learn new things to improve the lives of the residents at Tyspane Care Home. 

Aime Bown (General Manager) said, “Congratulations Abi, we couldn’t imagine Tyspane Care Home without you. Thank you for staying with us through the years and helping us grow.”

Thank you, Abi, for your unwavering loyalty and the foundational impact you have made over the past twenty years, Tyspane Care Home is lucky to have you.

Us here at The Dales are currently working hard to become a Veteran-Friendly Care Home. Recently, we have started putting together stories from residents, residents' families and members of staff or their families that have served or is a partner of a member of the Armed Forces.

After having a talk, we thought, let’s put together stories and pictures of everyone on a board and pin on a big map where everyone went when they were in the Armed Forces. So many stories have been shared, and it is wonderful having everyone going through and sharing amazing pictures. 

Please let us know if your loved one has served or is a partner of a member of the Armed Forces. There may be additional support we can provide for them.

A little bit of autumn magic at Iverley View! 
Our residents enjoyed a lovely flower-arranging activity, creating beautiful displays using pumpkins and a gorgeous selection of seasonal flowers. We think they’ve done a fabulous job!

These have been placed around our home and what lovely comments we have received from our visitors.  Well done to our amazing residents!

This week, Memory Lane was treated to a lovely surprise visit from the sweet shop, bringing a little extra sweetness and plenty of smiles to everyone’s day!

Our amazing resident David took charge, handing out a delightful selection of traditional old-fashioned sweets and lollipops for everyone to enjoy. There was something for everyone, and the excitement was certainly contagious!

With smiles all around, it’s safe to say this sweet surprise was a real treat! Sometimes, it’s the little things that bring the biggest smiles, and this was the perfect reminder of just how special those moments can be.

A big thank you to our sweet shop visitors for making our week that little bit sweeter!

What a fantastic evening! Our Curry & Quiz Night was a huge success, filled with delicious food, plenty of laughter, and some friendly competition! 
A big thank you to everyone who joined in and helped make the evening so special. It was wonderful to see everyone coming together, having fun, and making lovely memories. 
We can’t wait for the next one!

We had so much fun celebrating National James Bond Day at Burwood Grange! 
Our residents enjoyed delicious mocktails, fantastic music and plenty of dancing with lots of smiles and laughter along the way! 
It was a wonderful afternoon filled with fun, friendship and a touch of Bond glamour.
