Celebrating life at Barchester

We are delighted to share that we’ve granted another wonderful Post A Wish! Phil told us that Chinese was her absolute favourite type of takeaway, so we decided to do one better and treat her to an authentic dining experience at a superb local restaurant.

The fantastic team at Oriental Palace in West Winch were more than happy to host us for lunch, providing five-star service and a truly delicious selection of dishes. We enjoyed a wonderful spread including beef chop suey, king prawn Thai curry, plum sauce chicken, chicken balls and of course chow mein.

Phil had a wonderful time and it was lovely to see her enjoying her favourite cuisine in such a beautiful setting with friends.

We recently welcomed Emily from Zoo Lab, and what am amazing experience it was! Residents had the opportunity to get up close and interactive with a variety of fascinating creatures.

Some studies show that these type of experiences can help lower blood pressure, encourage gentle movement and reduce stress levels.

What a fantastic session we had with Mark from Moveball! Residents were fully engaged, smiling and cheering each other on throughout an activity-packed session focused on building confidence, improving dexterity, encouraging friendly competition, and working on balance. 

It was wonderful to see everyone getting involved at their own pace, supporting each other. 

Great job gang and thank you Mark!

We recently celebrated a very special resident's birthday! The day was filled with smiles, laughter, delicious cake, and lots of warm wishes from family, friends and staff.

At Mill Court, we understand how important faith and reflection are to many of our residents. We were recently delighted to host a special Holy Communion service within our home - a meaningful and uplifting occasion for all who attended.

Everyone had their game faces on recently with a fun and competitive afternoon! And of course we made some fantastic memories along the way. A friendly game of monopoly always manages to bring smiles and laughter between us.

Lovely morning of live entertainment from the beautiful Fiona Harrison, , singing great swing songs and stories. Always a pleasure to see Fiona, and she always brightens our residents day.
