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
World Bee Day
Residents celebrated World Bee Day with an informative talk/demonstration by Steve Riley from the Westerham Beekeepers Society. Steve showed us how the hive works and what jobs the different bees have. He told us some very interesting facts and even gave us some delicious honey made by his own bees.
Visiting our Sister Home - Chestnut Gardens
Residents were invited to one of our sister home, Chestnut Gardens, for a delicious home cooked 3 course meal, followed by an afternoon of sing-a-longs and entertainment. We even met the local Town Crier who told us all about what she does for the community. We all had a lovely time and residents were thrilled to meet new people.
Celebrating the King's Coronation
Excitement was in the air as we all celebrated the highly anticipated Coronation of King Charles in style.
Our home was beautifully decorated with themed flags, banners and red, white and blue balloons, setting the stage for a grand royal tea party with live music from The Whiskey Sours.
The whole home came together, along with families, friends and local community members to celebrate our new King and talk about the new era the country is entering.
Our talented chef, Jane prepared an assortment of delicious sweet and savoury treats for all to enjoy, accompanied by a glass of champagne.
We all had such a brilliant time celebrating the Coronation, such a momentous occasion.
