We are proud to say we will be offering a 5 Star dining experience delivered to our residents by our head chef and their team.

We will be offering a choice of seasonal menus every day, with dishes freshly prepared by our talented kitchen team. Whether it’s traditional, vegan, vegetarian or modified, our residents’ preferences help decide what’s on the menu.

Did you know?

Felbridge Manor is one of only a few special homes within Barchester Healthcare to have underfloor heating!

This comes with some fantastic benefits for our residents, a few of these are:

More bedroom space for our residents so they can bring more of their own furniture should they wish.
Improved air quality, which is particularly beneficial for those who suffer with allergies.
Even heat distribution and zone controlled, keeping our residents lovely and warm in the colder months (should they choose to be).
Energy efficient, which of course is important to all of us!

Bayleaf Care Home

Today, we’ve officially made our mark!

Today we took the first little step towards something we’re incredibly excited about, marking out our very own plot on the allotment just outside Bayleaf!

But this is about so much more than a patch of land. It’s about bringing people together, sharing ideas, creating memories and watching something wonderful grow, season by season.

We’d love you to be part of it!

Over the coming months and seasons, we’ll be sharing updates, our progress and some of the exciting projects we’d love to bring to life.

For now, we’ll leave you with just three little words…

WATCH THIS SPACE!

Because we are already counting down to Spring 2027!

The Moon

We had a wonderful trip to Carlisle Cathedral this afternoon. We enjoyed a fascinating and informative guided tour, where we learnt so much about the cathedral and its history.

We were also lucky enough to see the beautiful sculpture of the moon. The residents were absolutely in awe of it and completely taken aback by its beauty!

To make the afternoon even more special, we had the pleasure of hearing the organist playing the magnificent organ. The beautiful music was so peaceful and relaxing and created a truly lovely atmosphere. Overall, it was a wonderful afternoon filled with beautiful sights, fascinating history and moments to remember. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves!

Lanercost House Care Home

What a glorious day out in Silloth!

Some of our residents had a fantastic time enjoying a lovely walk along the front, taking in the sights and visiting the famous “Big Fella” statue. There was plenty of fun to be had in the arcades too, followed by the all-important fish and chips!

Lots of smiles, laughter and wonderful memories are made. What a fabulous day!

Macmillan Coffee Morning

Today we held a wonderful coffee morning in support of Macmillan, and what a fantastic morning it was! Our dining room was filled with music, laughter, chatting and even a little dancing! A huge thank you to the incredibly talented Darren, who entertained us with some much-loved songs that had everyone singing along.

And, of course, the cakes were absolutely amazing and went down a treat! A heartfelt thank you to everyone who baked, donated cakes and contributed to such a wonderful charity. We’re delighted to have raised over £150!

A big congratulations to our resident Wendy, who was the lucky winner of the fabulous hamper! Thank you to everyone who helped make the morning so special. It was wonderful to see everyone coming together, having fun and supporting such an important cause.
