I started at Tandridge Heights in 2020. Previous to this, I have been working as a carer sine 2010, which has helped me to understand the needs, wants and the individuality of all of our residents.
My main responsibility is provide a varied and engaging activities schedule every day for our residents; this helps to keep them involved in social and uplifting activities. We love to have parties to celebrate birthdays, national days and special occasions.

Life at Tandridge Heights Care Home
Visiting our Sister Home - Chestnut Gardens
Residents were invited to one of our sister home, Chestnut Gardens, for a delicious home cooked 3 course meal, followed by an afternoon of sing-a-longs and entertainment. We even met the local Town Crier who told us all about what she does for the community. We all had a lovely time and residents were thrilled to meet new people.
Celebrating the King's Coronation
Excitement was in the air as we all celebrated the highly anticipated Coronation of King Charles in style.
Our home was beautifully decorated with themed flags, banners and red, white and blue balloons, setting the stage for a grand royal tea party with live music from The Whiskey Sours.
The whole home came together, along with families, friends and local community members to celebrate our new King and talk about the new era the country is entering.
Our talented chef, Jane prepared an assortment of delicious sweet and savoury treats for all to enjoy, accompanied by a glass of champagne.
We all had such a brilliant time celebrating the Coronation, such a momentous occasion.
Staff Appreciation Week
Tandridge Heights celebrated Staff Appreciation Week in style! General manager, Natalie Davidson, arranged for the whole week to be filled with different events, games and competitions. We had Mocktail Monday, Takeaway Tuesday, Win it Wednesday, Thank you Thursday and Fiesta Friday. The whole team had a really good time and the residents loved getting involved with all the fun too.
A Trip to the Garden Centre
Residents enjoyed a recent trip to the Garden Centre to pick out flowers to brighten up their outside patio areas, whist we were there we made good use of the friendly café and enjoyed tea, coffee and delicious cakes.
Easter Celebrations
Residents, staff, families and friends had a lovely time celebrating Easter at Tandridge Heights. The celebrations began with a bunny hunt in the garden with games and competitions for all the children.
