NAMASTE CHAMPIONS

Namaste – the End of Life Care Programme, developed by Prof Joyce Simard, was introduced to Birchy Hill 2 years ago.

Since then this programme is offered to Residents in their last stage of dementia. Our staff are regularly trained in Namaste Workshops.

More and more Health Care Assistants now see themselves giving Namaste Care to Residents.

We are very happy to announce 7 new Namaste Champions who will work alongside their leading Namaste Champion to provide best care in the last phase of dementia

The photograph shows only the first lot of new champions.

Congratulations to Cherry, Claudia, Ramon, Ranjit, Sibi, Veronica, and Victoria.

BIG DOG – SMALL GIRL

When little Victoria visited us, she liked to go ‘walkies’ with the St Bernard dog. We all wondered who is taking whom for a walk.

The Residents loved watching them both and applauded when she brought him back safely.

HAPPY 99TH BIRTHDAY

Happy Birthday Maria!

Maria celebrated her 99th Birthday and is already looking forward to receiving a telegram sent by the Queen for her next birthday. She laughed a lot and was chatting to all her guests. The Staff played the piano and sung Happy Birthday for the oldest of our Residents.

Hip hip hooray, Maria, hip hip hooray!

Happy Birthday Maria from all at Angelcare PLC and MNS Care PLC

MARCH 2018 HIGHFLYER AT BIRCHY HILL

Going Above and Beyond……………..….her duties, that’s Veronica Reig’s motto when it comes to her job.

She is a natural caring person. She likes to be educated in her field and uses the new information in her daily work with the Service users.

Veronica is a very flexible Health Care Assistant and is always there when needed.

She is an asset to Birchy Hill’s Residents, Staff and Management alike and well deserved being awarded with the ‘Golden Wing’ in March.
Congratulations from us all.
