Celebrating life at Barchester

We had the absolute best time celebrating Cherry’s special day with a delicious family meal, surrounded by her friends and our staff.    
The incredible feast was prepared completely fresh right here in our home by our dedicated Head Chef, Jon, and his amazing team. 

To top off the celebrations, Jon and the team also baked a beautiful, bespoke birthday cake! We love making these individual cakes for each and every one of our residents to celebrate their special days. We hope you had a fantastic birthday, Cherry!

At Ashchurch View Care home we celebrate birthdays not just as a mark of ageing another year but as a celebration of life, achievements, and personal growth. It's a time for reflection, gratitude, and looking forward to future possibilities. Birthdays provide a special opportunity for us to help residents to gather with loved ones and create lasting memories.

Jacob recently led an incredible seated sports session at our home. He brought so much energy, fun games, and endless laughter to the room. Our residents absolutely loved him! He has an amazing way with everyone, making sure everyone felt involved and happy. 

Because the session was such a massive hit, we are thrilled to announce that Jacob will now be visiting us every single month! Thank you, Jacob, for bringing so much joy to our home. We already cannot wait for next month! 

Our Chefs were eager to make the most of our recent heatwave by treating residents to a BBQ supper al fresco style! We can't wait to host more as we enter the Summer months here at Farley Gardens.

What a wonderful day we had celebrating VE Day with our residents, families, and friends! The home was filled with music as everyone enjoyed fantastic live entertainment and came together to remember and honour such an important occasion. 

After the celebrations, families and friends joined us for a delicious 3-course meal with drinks, making it a truly special afternoon shared by all. A huge thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the day so memorable. It was lovely to see so many smiling faces and treasured moments being made together.       

What a truly special day celebrating our lovely resident Pat on her 100th birthday! We had a wonderful birthday party complete with live entertainment, a delicious buffet, and refreshing mocktails. There was plenty of laughter, singing, dancing, and happy memories shared throughout the day.

Reaching 100 years is an incredible milestone, and we were honoured to celebrate such an amazing lady. Happy 100th Birthday Pat, thank you for letting us be part of your special day! Also, a huge thank you to everyone who sent birthday cards. She ended up receiving over 200 cards!

We welcomed children from West End Primary School for an afternoon of crafts, creativity, and community spirit ahead of a very special celebration. The visit was organised in honour of Pat, to celebrate her 100th birthday.              

As part of the celebrations, the children joined residents in making handmade birthday cards and colourful party decorations, including banners and bunting, to help make the milestone occasion extra memorable.

A big thank you to Windsor Auctions and Harry Ballin for coming to see us today and offering a fascinating insight into everything from amber, watches, jewellery to Baroque pearls. Residents, family members and the local community were all able to bring their treasured possessions along for Harry to take a look.
