Activities at Silverbirch House Care Home

We invited the local community to enjoy a Cheese and Wine evening with live music from Joanna Rowlands to thank them for their patience during our construction. The team gave the neighbours and leaders of local Chitty’s Common tours to showcase Barchester's newest premium care home. Our hospitality team ensured that everyone was suitably well-fed and watered with an array of tasty cheeses, seasonal fruit and wines. Local resident, Sue said: “I thoroughly enjoyed the evening, Everything was prepared so well. The home and staff were fabulous, the food, wine and customer service was second to none. New residents are going to feel so special living here”.

Louise White, General Manager,said: “The team at Silverbirch House is dedicated to making sure that this home is a hub of the local community, and with this event we are off to an excellent start. It was a resounding success!”

Marisa Beazley and Natalie Watts, two community matrons with advanced skills and vast experience in both primary and secondary care, recently visited. Alexandra our Deputy Manager discussed the possible healthcare needs of the residents, which reflect long-term conditions, disability, and advanced frailty.

Marisa emphasized the importance of supporting and advising care homes in Guildford and Waverley. She stated, "Our aim is to provide the best possible support to care homes and ensure that residents receive the care they need." Nurse Natalie said, “We appreciated seeing your stunning new home and we loved the twinkling lights above the baths! We look forward to seeing you in the future to support you”. 

The visit highlights the importance of collaboration between healthcare professionals to ensure that individuals with complex healthcare needs receive the best possible care and support.
