Kelly Sherwin
I started at Tandridge Heights in 2020. Previous to this, I have been working as a carer sine 2010, which has helped me to understand the needs, wants and the individuality of all of our residents.
My main responsibility is provide a varied and engaging activities schedule every day for our residents; this helps to keep them involved in social and uplifting activities. We love to have parties to celebrate birthdays, national days and special occasions.

Life at Tandridge Heights Care Home
Woodhouse Centre
Residents enjoyed a trip to the woodhouse centre in Oxted, they had a lovely time making homemade cards and enjoying delicious tea and cake. Graham was shown around the work station by a member of the men in sheds team to see what projects they are currently working on, which he found really interesting.
Father's Day
Residents at Tandridge Heights celebrated Father’s Day with a special edition of our Gentlemen’s club. We had cold beers and pub nibbles, a sing along to some favourite classics and a good old chat. Residents also received lovely gifts and delicious chocolates from all of the staff at Tandridge Heights before spending time with their families and loved ones.
Pub Lunch
Residents at Tandridge Heights enjoyed a delicious lunch at our local pub. Our residents had a lovely afternoon chatting and laughing with friends and enjoying their favourite tipple and traditional pub food. The minibus took us on the scenic route to see the beautiful Surrey Hills which brought back wonderful memories.
Jubilee Celebrations
Residents, staff, families and friends had such a wonderful day celebrating the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee with a big garden party. We enjoyed live music from Harpist Mark Levin, a delicious bbq cooked by our amazing kitchen team, a charity raffle and lots of fun and games for everyone to be a part of. The weather was amazing and whole day was such a huge success, we even managed to raise £376 for local charity Crossroads care.

Residents were treated to a war-themed virtual experience, courtesy of the National trust service team at Cliveden House. Residents learned what life was like at Cliveden between 1914 and 1945, we all found it really interesting and we are hoping to visit Cliveden in the near future.
