Celebrating life at Barchester

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? 

Our residents had a lovely time exploring the beautiful flower displays, watching the birds, and enjoying the peaceful surroundings.

The colourful gardens brought plenty of smiles and sparked many happy conversations as we took in the beauty of nature together.

To round off our outing, everyone enjoyed a delicious coffee and refreshments at the park café, making it a perfect morning filled with relaxation, laughter, and great company.

Days like these create special memories and promote wellbeing, social connection, and joy. We can’t wait for our next adventure!

We are absolutely thrilled to welcome our new gardener, Andy, to the Glebefields family!

Andy joins us with a passion for transforming outdoor spaces and keeping our grounds beautiful.

Andy said “I love creating vibrant spaces where residents can relax, and I’m looking forward to getting to know everyone while tending to the gardens."

Make sure to give him a warm wave or say hello when you see him out and about with his trowel! 

We are absolutely thrilled to introduce the newest member of our team, Nickie, who has joined us as our new Administrative Assistant!

With her warm, friendly face and lovely personality, Nickie is already bringing so much joy to our home. She is always ready with a helping hand and a big smile, and we are so delighted to have her on board with us.

Next time you are visiting Glebefields, please feel free to pop in to say hello, and give Nickie a warm welcome! 

Last week, we had the pleasure of celebrating the birthdays of our wonderful residents, Cynthia and Geoff!

It was a lovely occasion filled with smiles, laughter, delicious birthday cake, and great company. Seeing everyone come together to celebrate made the day even more special.
Happy birthday, Cynthia and Geoff! We hope your year ahead is filled with happiness, good health, and many wonderful memories.

At Glebefields Care home we celebrate birthdays not just as a mark of ageing another year but as a celebration of life, achievements, and personal growth. It's a time for reflection, gratitude, and looking forward to future possibilities. Birthdays provide a special opportunity for us to help residents to gather with loved ones and create lasting memories.
