Celebrating life at Barchester

Today, we had the absolute pleasure of welcoming Callie Early, the inspiring founder of Ace Decluttering, to our professional breakfast network meeting!

Callie provides a wonderful, deeply personal decluttering and organising service. She lends an extra hand to busy families and offers gentle guidance to anyone feeling overwhelmed by a big task ahead.

It was truly moving to hear Callie speak so passionately about her clients. She supports people from all walks of life, including busy households and individuals navigating grief who just don't know where to start.

Callie also shared a personal story that hit close to home. Her own experience helping a family member search for high-quality residential and dementia care is what brought her through our doors today and we were able to signpost her to Barchester care homes in her families area.

At Glebefields, we host this professional breakfast every second month to connect, share stories, and strengthen ties with our incredible local professionals.

Thank you for joining us and inspiring us today, Callie!

We were so pleased to support the Odiham & North Warnborough Bowls Club at their annual Open Fours tournament, supplying plenty of cake for the visiting teams! It was a great day of competition in the sunshine and it is fantastic to be building such a great relationship with a local club.

We are absolutely thrilled to celebrate two wonderful members of our team, RGN Anila and Hostess Christine, as they prepare to welcome their new little ones!

Our staff came together this week for a beautiful joint baby shower filled with love and plenty of well-wishes. Both of these amazing women bring so much joy and dedication to our residents every day, and it was an honour to shower them with love as they step into this exciting next chapter of motherhood.

General Manager Samantia De Florimonte-Rose said "Anila and Christine are the absolute heart of our team. Their warmth, care, and dedication impact everyone who walks through our doors. Watching our staff come together to celebrate them reminds me of how lucky we are to have such a supportive, tight-knit work family. We wish them both endless joy, health, and happiness as they welcome their beautiful babies!"

Amazing puppeteer Tony and his joyful characters came to life today at Ashchurch View!

Our residents had a wonderful time meeting Tony and his incredible puppet friends. Tony brought the characters to life through lively conversation and classic songs even belting out some Elton John favourites!

The room was filled with awe, with residents shared “What a fantastic performance! Tony is so dedicated and truly brings them to life."

Thank you, Tony, for bringing so much joy and laughter into our home. We can’t thank you enough and already look forward to your next visit!

We are thrilled to announce that our lovely Nurse Sita has been nominated for Employee of the month due to her care compassion and commitment she shows every day for the residents and staff at Ashchurch View.

Sita was presented with the Employee of the month certificate and a gift by the homes administrator Jenny to celebrate. Sita will also receive a voucher from Barchester as a thank you for her outstanding contribution towards the home.

At Ashchurch, our beautiful courtyard rooms make it easy for residents to keep doing what they love.

Step right outside your door, and you are ready to garden! It has been absolutely lovely watching Cherry and her daughter tending to their patch lately. Thanks to their dedicated maintenance, the strawberries and tomatoes are growing beautifully!

We love supporting our residents in maintaining their independence, passion, and green fingers.
What are you growing in your garden this summer?
