Home celebrates exceptional feedback

Staff and residents are celebrating receiving exceptional feedback in the home’s customer satisfaction survey.  Everyone is as proud as can be after the home scored incredibly highly in all aspects of the survey.

Each year Barchester Healthcare, who own Hickathrift House, conduct a mammoth customer survey to collate feedback from their 13,800 residents and patients, and their loved ones.  The survey is an opportunity to gather the opinions of the people living in Barchester’s homes and hospitals, along with those of their families and loved ones, in order to learn and improve.  Every single piece of feedback given in the survey is considered and acted upon.  This year the survey received over 13,000 individual pieces of feedback, all of which are passed on to the relevant home.
 

Happy Birthday 'Evelyn'

At Chacombe Park 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.

Yesterday we celebrated Evelyn’s birthday, we all sang 'Happy Birthday' together and celebrated with cake. We all hope you had a truly lovely day filled with smiles, laughter, and special moments! 

Home enjoy landmark celebrations!

Celebrations have been in full swing as one of its residents reaches her centenary in style.

Selina was joined by staff, relatives, friends and other residents as she received a telegram from the King in recognition of her landmark birthday. A party with Selina’s favourite entertainers, Dark Moon was arranged for her by the family and the staff team at Stamford Bridge Beaumont, there was champagne to toast this very special occasion and a special birthday cake made by the home’s catering team.

The birthday girl said: “To be surrounded by so many people that I love has made this day so special, I couldn’t have wished for a better birthday, thank you to everybody who arranged it and came to my party, you’ve all made me feel so very special”. 
 

Celebrating Burns Night

We celebrated Burns Night at Tewkesbury Fields in true Scottish style!
We were delighted to welcome members from Cheltenham Royal Scottish Country Dance Society for a traditional dancing demonstration.
It was a great experience shared with residents and families, lifting spirits, encouraging participation, and creating joyful memories.
It was fantastic to see so many up for a dance and celebrate the occasion together.
Residents enjoyed a wee dram of Scottish Whiskey and shortbread biscuits.
It was a brilliant tribute to Scotland’s beloved poet, Robert Burns

Happy Birthday Peter!

Happy Birthday Peter!!

Life is a new chapter for Peter since joining our home. A wonderful man who you may remember came to us a year ago, and today is celebrating his birthday with us!

Peter's daughter Lyn asked if he wanted to go out for his birthday and he said, "No I want to be here at Elgar Court as we are having a party!" And what a fabulous time he had with his friends and family at the party we held for him!

Life doesn't stop at Elgar Court, it begins! We make every day as special as we can for our residents and celebrating occasions like this is just what we do!
