Celebrating life at Barchester

We recently held a Mobility Event with Cornwall Mobility where they supported residents and visitors to explore and choose their own mobility aids. It was lovely to see individuals involved in making decisions to support their independence.

What an amazing opportunity we had this morning to meet up with our pen pals from Threshfield Court Care Home - Barchester Healthcare at Harrogate chocolate factory, our residents loved chatting and finding more out about our friends and putting a face to the letters and also a checky cake and coffee as well. look forward to the next adventure and catch up. Thanks to Harrogate chocolate factory for your amazing hospitality and service. Thanks to the lovely Milly for letting us use their pictures.

Nothing like taking the morning leisurely; with a little bit of creativity and a whole lot of smiles
