Activities at Archview Lodge Care Home

Congratulations to our Housekeeping Assistant, Carol who was recently presented with a prestigious 10-years long service award by our General Manager, Sarah.

Carol joined the home in 2014 and we are delighted to work alongside a valued member of our home team.

Congratulations Carol! And wishing you many more years as part of the Archview family.

Staff and residents are celebrating because their wonderful Managing Director, Fiona Fagan, from Barchester’s North East and Scotland Division, has stepped completely out of her comfort zone to compete in the Barchester Charitable Foundation Cook Off 2024.

Fiona went head-to-head with the Managing Directors from Barchester’s four other divisions and cooked up a storm to raise a phenomenal £24,595 for Barchester’s Charitable Foundation which helps connect vulnerable people and those living with a disability to community groups in their local area by providing grants to improve mobility and quality of life.  Each year the Foundation distributes thousands of pounds to individuals, small community groups and charities across England, Scotland and Wales.  

Residents across our homes had a fantastic time exploring the Eden Project virtually - an educational charity and visitor attraction based in Cornwall, featuring sprawling outdoor gardens and breathtaking biomes that house the largest indoor rainforest in the world.

During the session, residents who joined were reconnected with nature through their senses, memories and stories.  A big thank you to the community team at the Eden Project for the wonderful event.

Residents across our services enjoyed a fantastic virtual tour of The Deep, an award-winning aquarium in Hull.

Our residents dived into the underwater world of some fascinating creatures such as sharks, turtles and stingrays.

It was a truly immersive and educational experience that brought the wonders of the ocean right to our screens.

Residents and staff put the ‘fun’ into ‘fundraising’ with a charity cake bake sale to raise money for Barchester’s Charitable Foundation.

Sarah Thomson, General Manager at Archview Lodge said: “We love to fundraise for charities throughout the year, we pick different causes to support that have been selected by staff, residents and friends of the home. Barchester’s Charitable Foundation is a great cause that helps many people in need and is also a cause very close to the hearts of all our staff and residents, so we feel really proud to have been able to raise this money. Thank you to everyone who donated!”  

A fun filled day in the sunshine at Arniston park where we took part in the annual Barchester football tournament. Thank you to Ahmet and our AMAZING squad of players who volunteered their time today Special mention to MVP and person of the match Sophie.

It was so special to have residents, colleagues and friends all there to cheer on the Archview United Family. We all had a great time and it was lovely to catch up with our colleagues from our sister homes. Looking forward to the next event.
