Celebrating life at Barchester

Residents enjoyed a wonderful time this Easter with everything from egg and spoon races to Bonnet parades, Easter Egg hunts and hot cross bun tasting. Having fun, enjoying the spring weather and living life!

Residents made the most of the sunshine with a trip out to the Bumblebee Café in Rowlands Castle.

They enjoyed cups of tea and conversation. There’s nothing better than getting out and soaking up the fresh air, and sharing special moments.

Our weekly outings on the Bere Grove minibus are always a highlight, bringing smiles, laughter, and a chance to enjoy simple pleasures .

We’re already looking forward to our next adventure!

What a brilliant morning celebrating our residents' 90th! Can you tell he loves trains! So we tailored our outing to continue his pastime! Thank you to Ferry Meadows Country Park for facilitating this wish this morning! Celebrations are to be continued, but for now I wanted to share this magical moment! 

We had previously delivered a wish fulfilment for this gentleman to Rail World for a day out. This was an extension of this. In addition, a train-fanatic is due to come into the home over the coming weeks to deliver a one-one to this gentleman, to share his passion and knowledge in this area.   

Residents and staff at Falmouth court enjoyed sweet Easter treats, with a selection of chocolate eggs shared across the home. It was a simple way to mark the occasion and spend time together. There were plenty of smiles thanks to our Easter bunny, with laughter shared throughout the day. 

Easter weekend at Iris Court was full of fun!

The festivities began with a special Easter baking session, everyone rolled up their sleeves to prepare our own delicious sweet treats, sharing smiles and plenty of fun along the way, whilst our own sweet treats where being cooked we enjoyed our own delightful hot cross buns for a sugar fix. 

Our home was beautifully decorated throughout the weekend, creating a warm and festive atmosphere for our visitors over the weekend, whilst on Sunday we hand delivered Easter treats to all of our residents spreading smiles across the home and making the day feel extra special. 

We continued our celebrations into bank holiday Monday, where we enjoyed a visit from one of our residents favourite performers Fiona Harrison who performed her Easter show which got everyone singing along and clapping. A perfect way to round off a memorable Easter weekend.
