🥇 Castle Lodge Celebrates Outstanding CQC Rating 🥇

The team at Castle Lodge Independent Hospital in Sutton, are celebrating as they passed a recent Care Quality Commission inspection with an overall ‘Outstanding’ rating - the best possible rating.

The CQC report found that all staff knew their residents exceptionally well and were dedicated and driven to offering them the best possible care, supported them to maintain their independence and retain control of decision-making. The report praised the hospital for promoting a culture where people were truly respected, their dignity protected, where they were valued as individuals and empowered as partners in their own care.

A patient shared: “The staff are lovely and kind, they go out of their way to help me”.

To mark the occasion, our CEO, Dr Pete Calveley, visited Castle Lodge to congratulate everyone and award each member of staff a £500 voucher to celebrate their achievement.

Huge congratulations to everyone at Castle Lodge Independent Hospital - Barchester Healthcare. What a brilliant achievement! 👏

🍺 Cheers! Hilton Park Opens a Bar for Residents 🍹

Colleagues at Hilton Park Care Home in have come up with the genius idea of creating their own bar for their residents. What could possibly be better than a space within the home where residents can kick back, relax and enjoy a pint and a chat, exactly as if they were down at their local.

The concept for the bar came from the team who recognised the value of creating a pub-style space for residents who may not want to go out but who might still like to experience a pub setting. The team brought the idea to life, transforming the lounge into a warm and inviting space.

Staff and residents proudly celebrated the launch of the new Hilton Lounge Bar with a ribbon-cutting ceremony led by Residents’ Ambassadors John and Beverley and live music from vocalist, Luan.

Such a fantastic idea! 👏

👏 Barchester’s Charitable Foundation: Record-breaking 25th Anniversary Year 👏

We’re thrilled to share that Barchester’s Charitable Foundation marked its 25th anniversary with a record-breaking £424,000 raised in 2025 – the highest in its history.

Thanks to the incredible support of colleagues, supporters and corporate partners, the funding helped 262 small community groups and charities, as well as 123 individuals.

The vast majority of grants for disabled and older individuals are for mobility aids such as mobility scooters, electric wheelchairs and specialist walkers, enabling people to get out and about in their local community and to take part in social activities. This type of help can be transformative to people’s day-to-day life and wellbeing, as well as giving back independence and freedom.

Grants to small community groups and local charities have been more varied, funding a broad range of activities, outings, transport, equipment and materials for older people and adults with disabilities and mental health challenges. The projects cover a very wide variety of social and educational activities such as arts and crafts, gardening, woodwork, exercise, yoga, music, sewing, theatre and dance.

A fantastic milestone! ✨
