Life at Emily Jackson House Care Home
What a week!
We are so proud to share we featured in the @Sevenoaks Chronicle this week for the trip we organised for Grahame to the airfield to celebrate his pilot life!
This is one of the many trips and activities we regularly organise to bring joy, happiness and enrichment to our residents lives.
In addition to this, we won a hamper in recognition of all our hard work we have been doing.
Grahame Relives his Pilot Past
Resident, Grahame Underwood had previously had a successful career as an architect and a passion for flying. He trained first to be a glider pilot and then got his private pilot’s licence. His family say He loved anything airplane related. Staff have been aware of this since he joined them and have been planning a special day for Grahame for a while!
Grahame, has lived at Emily Jackson for nearly a year and is loved by staff and residents alike. Knowing Grahame’s past as a Pilot, staff looked at ways they could celebrate his life and organised a trip to Biggin Hill Airfield. Grahame was able to sit back and watch the Spitfires take to the skies bringing all those memories of his pilot days flooding back.
Grahame couldn’t stop smiling, Activities Co-ordinator Paula McGill said “The smile on Grahame’s face was incredible, you could see he was so pleased to be there”
Grahame was accompanied by his wife Christine Underwood and fellow residents from Emily Jackson and neighbouring Care Home Tandridge Heights. Staff and residents were delighted to be a part of Grahame’s day as they knew how much it meant to him.
Enjoying our Garden
Residents have had a lovely morning in the fresh air and sunshine. They have been admiring the beautiful flowers, listening to the birds, and chatting with their friends. Some of them are even playing games or reading books. The garden is a wonderful place to relax and have fun for everyone at Emily Jackson House.
The King's Coronation
We had a great weekend celebrating the King's Coronation! We watched the footage and had our very own party to celebrate the new King!
Birthday celebrations
Our fabulous chef made this cake for one of our residents celebrating their birthday! We always celebrate everyone's birthday here at Emily Jackson House.
Sunday Service.
We like to get out as much as possible and with the brighter weather we took a walk up to the church for their Sunday service. It was a very enjoyable morning.
