Activities at Red Oaks Care Home

Residents and relatives enjoy spending time in the outstanding gardens at Red Oaks.

This week we have been enjoying sitting under out fabulous fig tree in the courtyard playing scrabble.

There was friendly competition between residents friends and family filling the entire board.

We are proud to announce that Gabriel Buzamurga has been crowned Registered Nurse of the Year for the South Division in this year’s Barchester Care Awards and is through to the national round of judging.

More than 2,950 nominations were received from all Barchester homes and hospitals across the UK. All entries were a very high standard and Gabriel is over the moon to have been named the winner for the division, beating hundreds of other nominees.

Our divisional winner Gabriel is through to the national finals in which the overall winner is decided. He will join winners from across the UK at a special awards event in October to celebrate their outstanding achievements and discover if they have won a national award.

Huge congratulations, well deserved!

Thank you so much – if you need to play with the words to make them better then please do.

Staff and resident celebrated Julie’s retirement with gifts and a wonderful cake made by our pastry chef. A big thank you for all the dedication and kindness that Julie has shown over the last 25 years to both residents and staff.

We will still all be seeing Julie again though as she is going to be returning as one of our volunteers.

Residents and staff of Red Oaks were very pleased to join the community in the grounds for Proms in Park.

With Brass Fusion playing classics from the proms and opera singer Sidone Winter making a special appearance to raise the roof with renditions of Jerusalem and Sussex by Sea to name a few.

All enjoyed a fantastic evening with picnics, singing and lots of flag waving.

Here at Red Oaks we have had a very busy time celebrating the Royal Jubilee and the Hefield Festival of Garden and Arts. Its been really great and well received by residents and staff alike.

However, some of our residents still found time to make some beautiful Fascinator's to wear at the forthcoming Royal Ascot event, which will be gracing our screens between Tuesday 14th June and Saturday 18th June. 

Royal Ascot is a fantastic excuse to dress up and enjoy some bubbles.

Shortly after our fantastic Jubilee celebrations here at Red Oaks Care Home, we swapped our Jubilee bunting for this eye catching display of colour, all painstakingly knitted by one of our lovely residents.

We were so proud to host part of 'The Henfield Festival of Garden & Arts' within our grounds.

The weekend was fun packed with an assortment of entertainment from  Musicians and Dancers.

There were many stalls from small business'es within our local community. 

The hospitality was incredible and was overseen by our own fabulous head chef Leigh Clifford who managed along with his team the BBQ and beverages served on both days.

What a fabulous community event
