Celebrating life at Barchester

What a lovely afternoon spent at Riverhill Himalayan Gardens. 

We enjoyed a gentle walk around the beautiful gardens, taking in the stunning scenery and peaceful surroundings. Afterwards, we headed to Malabar for a relaxing tea and coffee together. 

It was especially lovely to be joined by one of our resident's daughters, making the afternoon even more special. 

Fun in the dun at our Garden Party!

Lovely to see so many smiling faces and lots of families joining in the fun. 

Good Company. Good Tunes. Good Times.

Residents at Tandridge Heights enjoyed a wonderful afternoon performance from Annalene Beechey full of music, show tunes, sunshine, and fun! There was plenty of singing, smiling, and a lively sing-along as everyone joined in with favourite songs. A fantastic afternoon filled with laughter, friendship, and great memories.

The residents at Windmill Manor enjoyed a visit from Maggie, a volunteer puppy raiser for the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association, and beautiful Amelia a 9 month old German Shepherd.

Maggie talked to us about what is included in being a puppy raiser, how they provide a 6-8 week old puppy with the vital foundation for its future role as a guide dog.

They look after the puppy for the first 12-16 months and will guide them through training, socialisation, and introduce them to new environments, while providing a loving home.

There might be the odd chewed slipper along the way, but nothing beats the rewarding feeling of loving and raising a puppy who will go on to make an enormous difference to someone living with sight loss.

Fountains Care Home was proudly awash with pink as residents, families, visitors, and staff came together for a special Breast Cancer Bra Collection Morning in support of an important cause.

The home was filled with music, laughter, and a wonderful sense of community as everyone enjoyed a fun-filled morning together.

Residents and their loved ones were treated to a delicious ice cream stall, while music created a joyful atmosphere that encouraged singing, dancing, and plenty of smiles. The event provided a fantastic opportunity for residents to socialise, engage with their families, and make lasting memories. It was heart-warming to see so many people supporting the fundraiser by wearing pink and making generous donations. The enthusiasm and kindness shown by everyone involved truly reflected the caring and compassionate community at Fountains Care Home.

We would like to extend a sincere thank you to everyone who donated, attended, and helped make the event such a success. Your generosity and support will help make a real difference in the fight against breast cancer.

Events like these are a wonderful example of how Fountains Care Home brings people together, creating meaningful experiences that promote wellbeing, friendship, and positive community engagement while supporting worthwhile causes.
