Playing your cards right!

Cards were on the table at South Chowdene this afternoon, and the competition was fierce!

Our ladies were fully focused, pulling their best concentration faces as they battled it out for victory. There was plenty of teamwork, lots of laughter, and, as always, kindness all around. That said, helping each other was great… but winning was even better!

A wonderful afternoon filled with fun, friendship, and just a little healthy competition. Who do you think was crowned card champion today?

Celebrating Carers Week

What a wonderful day we have had celebrating Carers Week at South Chowdene!

Thanks to the generosity of the family of one of our much-loved resident C.W who sadly passed away, funds were donated to ensure that our amazing staff could be treated during this special week. Their kindness allowed us to bring everyone together and create such a lovely atmosphere, and we are incredibly grateful for their thoughtful gesture.

Staff, residents, relatives and members of our community came together to enjoy a beautiful buffet, shared memories and spend quality time with one another. For those who couldn’t make it, don’t worry – there is still plenty left to enjoy!

We would also like to say a huge thank you to #Barchester for the wonderful chocolate gift box, which we will all be sharing together. Such thoughtful gestures are truly appreciated.

Time together to treasure

Family time is precious, and our private dining room offers the perfect setting to enjoy it. Graham and his loved ones recently shared a delicious meal prepared by our Head Chef, Joe Sackett, enjoying quality time together in a relaxed and elegant environment. It’s just one of the many ways we help residents continue making special memories with the people who matter most.

Baby Shower Celebrations

Today we had the pleasure of celebrating a very special baby shower at our home for our wonderful Senior Carer, Shiryl, and her husband, Jeff.

It was such a lovely afternoon filled with laughter, fun, and lots of love. We gave beautiful gifts, enjoyed a gorgeous cake, and had a fantastic time playing games, including Guess the Sweet Mess, making our baby predictions, and sharing advice cards for the new parents-to-be.

Shiryl and Jeff, we know you are both going to be amazing parents. Your little one is already so loved, and we wish your growing family a lifetime of happiness, good health, love, and unforgettable memories.

Congratulations from all of us, we can’t wait to meet your beautiful bundle of joy
