We have decorated one of the rooms and made it into an inside garden.

We are really pleased with it – the Residents and Families love it too.

They do activities in here – dine in here if they wish and an all round quiet room to relax.

‘’Care Home Open Day is now in its 7th year.

This year’s theme was celebrating the role of “Arts in Care”.

It encourages homes to open their doors to celebrate a different theme each year, with a few key values at its heart – Friendship, Making Connections and Celebrating Older and Vulnerable People.

The creative arts play a key role in encouraging self-expression, sharing emotions and reminding everyone that many Residents have talents that come to the fore when given the right environment to flourish.’’ (Sylvie Silver, NAPA)

This year’s Care Home Open Day took place on Friday 28th June 2019.

In the morning Birchy Hill held an art competition in the Sensory Garden and in the conservatory. Residents were completing their art designs and families and friends were invited to join in. When all artwork is completed, it will be on display in Peggy’s Café.

The party got started when “The Land Girls” arrived.

Their musical know-how was a gem for the audience.

All our Residents were singing, clapping and cheering up to the captivating sing along.

Everybody had an enchanting afternoon and left with a big smile and some nice words about the successful amusement.

Thank you, Land Girls, for the great entertainment!

Our Chef “Samantha” and her Team spoiled us with a wonderful BBQ, with a salad buffet and a big choice of puddings.

Everybody tucked in and enjoyed the outdoor dining.

From all drinks the Pimm’s was gone first.

The Residents and their families loved the light taste on this hot summer’s day.

A very big Thank you to our kitchen! It was very yummy!

Happy 49th Wedding Anniversary to Wendy and Clifford from all of us at Birchy Hill!

The couple were quite surprised to be celebrated with a cake, balloon and cards.

We’re looking forward celebrating the big 50th with you.

All the best to the both of you!
