Activities at Silverbirch House Care Home

 Silverbirch House Care Home in Guildford are ecstatic because three of their hard-working colleagues have reached the final of the Women Achieving Greatness in Social Care Awards 2023.
Over 85% of the social care workforce is female. Many of these hard working, dedicated and talented women juggle the challenges of family life with their career. The purpose of the Women Achieving Greatness in Social Care Awards is to highlight and celebrate the incredible achievements of female leaders in all roles and from all corners of the sector, and create a platform to support rising stars and future leaders. The winners will be announced at a Gala Awards ceremony on 21st November at the London Marriott Grosvenor Square hotel.
 

We are passionate about getting involved in our local community. Recently, we visited Worplesdon Primary School where we had the pleasure of meeting their team. Head Teacher Mrs. Kareen O'Brien also visited Silverbirch House and we look forward to having the children visit us while our residents enjoy events at the school. We are excited to be participating in the school fayre taking place on Sunday, December 3rd.

Calming Tai Chi coming soon. Dr Luke Zhang came to visit us to provide a demonstration of the classes he can provide for our residents. Here’s our team going “Zen”, but residents can also join in seated. Manager Louise said she had never felt so calm.

Gaynor White and Victoria Fear, both members of the Worplesdon Parish Council, had the pleasure of going on a tour with our General Manager, Louise White, earlier this week. During the tour, they were able to get an in-depth look at our fantastic facilities and gain valuable insights into the day-to-day life in our home. The tour was a great success, and Gaynor and Victoria were impressed with the professionalism and expertise of Louise and her team. We are always delighted to share our knowledge and experience with members of the community, and we look forward to welcoming you for a visit.

Our team paid a visit to our local emergency services personnel this week. We brought along "Hero chocolates" and invited them for a "Cuppa and Cake". Their delightful smiles showed us how happy they were. We extend an open invitation for anyone to come visit us anytime for refreshments and a tour.

We were thrilled to receive an invitation to celebrate Harvest Festival at St. Mary's Church in Worplesdon, hosted by Reverend Alex Russell. During the event, Sally-Anne, the Home Services Advisor from Silverbirch House Care Home presented the church with an impressive Harvest Hamper filled with a variety of foods. Sally-Anne commented "It was a fantastic opportunity to meet the congregation and become more acquainted with the local community. We were all looking forward to the Harvest Festival, as it's such a lovely time of year to show our gratitude. It's great to know that everything is safely gathered in for another year. We enjoyed singing hymns together and spreading the word about our new luxury care home with Barchester."
