Celebrating life at Barchester

Burwood Grange Care Home was delighted to host a highly successful networking breakfast this month, bringing together professionals from across the local health, care, and community sectors. The event created a vibrant space for meaningful conversations, new connections, and shared ideas focused on supporting older adults and strengthening collaborative working.

Guests enjoyed a warm welcome from the team, a delicious breakfast, and the opportunity to learn more about the home’s approach to personalised care and community engagement. The morning was filled with positive energy, with attendees exchanging insights, exploring partnership opportunities, and discovering ways to work together for the benefit of residents and the wider community.

Events like this reflect Burwood Grange Care Home commitment to being an open and connected. We look forward to building on the relationships formed and hosting future gatherings that continue to bring professionals together.

We’d like you to meet Mary, our lovely little robin who has chosen a rather unexpected spot to call home, the maintenance garden shed! She’s been busy building her nest, and we’re so excited to share that she now has three tiny eggs tucked safely inside.
Over the next few weeks, we’ll be keeping a gentle eye on things and sharing updates as we watch this little story unfold. 
Fingers crossed for some fluffy new arrivals soon!

Graham from Drums4Fun brought his percussion workshop to us, and we had a fantastic afternoon on Petherwin, playing and singing loudly. 

Live music is great and when we can be a part of making music ourselves, it’s all the better. Residents tell us they enjoy live music, so we invite a variety of performers to help us deliver a wide range of experiences.

We all enjoyed the “Craic” for St Patrick's Day and celebrated in style with our entertainer, Budgie. With a selection of Irish folk songs, along with the old classics, we had the time of our loves.  

Irish coffee and Guinness flowed and the singing and dancing followed. A happy St Patricks day was had by all.

Our residents enjoyed their special day with their family as we arranged a special afternoon tea for Mother's Day. We served a selection of finger sandwiches, homemade cheese scones with Cream Cheese and homemade onion chutney, fruit scones with clotted cream and jam, homemade Lemon Drizzle and Victoria Sponge, along with Macarons too.  

A delicious menu topped off with being served with vintage China, white tablecloths, and lashings of tea and coffee. A fantastic time was had by all.  

It was all about Miriam today and rightly so as she turned 100 years young.  

Surrounded by an array of cards, flowers, family and friends, Miriam had the best day. Our head Chef Afua made a beautiful cake, and they enjoyed celebrating the day with prosecco, cake and lots of laughter and happiness filled the room.
