Celebrating life at Barchester

Cadbury Hall's residents were delighted by the energy of the children of Boogie Beats. 

Boogie Beats is a group that travel from care home to care home bringing children and their child minders to partake in story-telling, music and movement along side interacting with older adults living in the care homes.

Boogie Beats leader Nat, had the children and residents captivated by the stories of the farmer that planted seeds and grew giant pumpkins. She had the children and residents pretending to pull out giant pumpkins then invited them to move their bodies and sing along to music.

“They are so energetic, I remember when I had that much energy” said resident Maureen as she giggled at the children dancing around the room.

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!
