Celebrating life at Barchester
We celebrate life through everything we do, from our thoughtful experiences and activities to our delicious food. We offer the latest technology as well as sensory engagement to nurture the wellbeing of our residents. With a wide variety of tailored activities and events we make sure our residents have the best physical, mental, spiritual and social stimulation, all bespoke to them. Take a look at what we’ve been up to…





Creepy Crawley Day....
A fantastic afternoon with Ronan and his animals from ZooLab with a spooky Halloween twist! We learned fun facts and even got to hold some of the animals




Remembrance Day
Resident's and staff at Tewkesbury Fields came together to observe a two minute silence, surrounded by the beautiful poppy display they had lovingly made together to remember and honour all those who sacrificed so much

A Little Retail Therapy
There was a lovely buzz at Kings Park as we welcomed **Linnie’s Fashion** for a pop-up shop visit.
Our residents enjoyed browsing the latest styles, having a look at the clothes and perhaps finding a little something special to take home.
It was a lovely opportunity to enjoy some shopping without having to leave the comfort of Kings Park, with plenty of chatting, browsing and a little retail therapy along the way!
A big thank you to Linnie’s Fashion for coming along and bringing the shop to us. We look forward to welcoming you back!





Christmas is coming!!!
Where has the time gone! Queens Manor Residents had a lovely day out at the Botanics this week, and checking out the Christmas Stock. Fabulous Day!!

Dancing to Bob Seymour's Music
Thank you to Bob Seymour for regularly playing such a great variety of music to our residents. Seeing our residents tapping their feet, singing along to favourite songs, clapping their hands and enjoying a dance, it's a reminder of how music has a magical way of encouraging movement and lifting spirits.

Therapy Dogs
Residents at Queens Manor Care Home absolutely love welcoming Bramble the Therapy Dog each week. Bramble visits alongside her mum, Tina, and their visits always bring smiles, comfort, and companionship to everyone they meet. Residents thoroughly enjoy spending time with them both and look forward to their weekly visits.

Dementia Choir in Action
Coming together to enjoy the incredible power of music, how it sparks cherished memories and helps make connections.




🎭💃☘️ RETIREMENT LIVING AT ITS VERY BEST! ☘️💃🎭
We always ask our residents a very special question…
❤️ “Is there something you’ve always wanted to do but never had the chance?”
❤️ “Or is there something you used to love doing that you’d love to experience again?”
Because we believe that growing older should never mean giving up on the things you love or missing out on making new memories! 💕
When a group of our residents told us they would love a trip to the theatre to watch some Irish dancing, we knew we had to make it happen! ☘️💃
So, when we spotted that Malvern Theatres were putting on a fantastic production by Rhythm of the Dance, well… how could we possibly resist?! 🎭✨
And off we went! 🥰
Now, anyone who has been to the theatre knows that taking photographs isn’t always easy, especially as photography isn’t permitted during performances! 📸 But we couldn’t let such a special outing go by without capturing a little memory to treasure. ❤️
For us, it’s about so much more than a trip to the theatre. It’s about listening to our residents, making their wishes a reality, bringing back treasured memories and creating wonderful new ones along the way. 💕
Because life doesn’t stop when you move into a care home, there are still adventures to be had, experiences to enjoy and memories waiting to be made! 🌟
💖 This is what retirement living should be all about! 💖
