Our stories

We had an 80th Birthday to celebrate today at Buckingham House.  It was important to the person living us that they got to spend time and celebrate the day with their loved ones.

The people living with us and team joined St. James’ community for their monthly lunch gathering.  The people living with us really enjoy the opportunity to get out and socialise with other people.  As always the food and service was 5* and was really enjoyed by all.

Our Lifestyle Team had the bespoke training module delivered by a qualified staff member from Just Bowl, the new great project that introduce new ways to move and exercises to those people living with us, whilst also involving the wider team and having much fun !

It's Wimbledon Season – our very own balloon tennis was an absolute hit during Wimbledon, some competitiveness, some good agility and hand eye coordination, with of course, lots of fun and laughter! We certainly got our bodies moving in these activity sessions.

Making our Residents happy and fulfilling their wishes is what we are all here for at Kents Hill Care Home. 

Fathers Day at Hope Green is a colourful celebration!

PASSED! Camille, one of our newly hired international nurse, recently passed her OSCE exams held in Ulster University. She has been taking shifts for four months now, shadowing the registered nurses and helping with care in Amber Court.

Congratulations and thank you to all the nurses out there. You do a brilliant challenging role. River View thanked their current nurses as well as our own 98 year old legend of a lady who started her nursing career in the UK at The Royal Berkshire Hospital. Thank you for all your service 🙏

Whilst Ladies Day at Royal Ascot was opened by HRH Queen Elizabeth, River View Ladies Day was opened by our very own HM Lizzy Gondo !

River View were really excited and absolutely delighted to recently be able to welcome Boonies Pet Therapy.

Meet our glamorous assistants Bev and Margaret.

When asking for 2 volunteer's the ladies were more than willing to take centre stage.

Spurring our residents on ,a lovely fun Game show took place yesterday.

Thank you ladies.

The people living with us really enjoyed making the fruit kebabs.  It triggered nice memories of when they were children picking fruit from trees and making fruit pies at home with their mums. Other residents also spoke of during the war time when fruit was very scarce.

Being able to express yourself creatively is so important and can be so therapeutic.  We got the paints out with some of the people who wanted to get painting and enjoy a creative afternoon.  The end results were really lovely. 

And there we have it! George turned 101 today! And of course, there was a celebration party including George’s favourite cake, which he thoroughly enjoyed. We are all very happy that we could celebrate this special day with George!

We were so thrilled to be joined by our mayor to celebrate the Queens Jubilee at the home.  We had some music, refreshments and cake.  The Mayor spent sometime with the people living at the home which they really enjoyed.

We really enjoy celebrating our amazing team at Chestnut Court and this month we had a joint winner.  We wanted to highlight the amazing work that the lifestyle team do at the home organising events, games, activities and spending time with the people who live with us.

Jean celebrated her 90th Birthday today last week. She spent the afternoon in the decking area with her daughter Lesley and a few close friends.

Lots of laughter and birthday singing filled the air.

What a lovely afternoon had in the sunshine.

Happy Birthday Jean!
