Last week, Boutique Care Homes’ Carl Roberts, alongside members of the Chartwell House team, headed over to EKC Broadstairs College to deliver an Alzheimer's Society Dementia Friends session to a room full of Level 2 Health and Social Care students.

The Dementia Friends initiative is all about building understanding, breaking down stigma, and empowering people to make a real difference for those living with dementia in their communities 🧠💬

Seeing such enthusiasm, curiosity and compassion from these students was truly heart-warming – the future of care is in very caring hands.

Moments like this remind us that care goes far beyond our homes… it’s about sharing knowledge, kindness and confidence wherever it’s needed 💙

Care so good, it’s unexpected.

This week, Jude was absolutely delighted to be a Guest Speaker at The Portman Centre in St Peter’s, joining the wonderful St Peter’s Women’s Group, a group who’ve been meeting every fortnight for over 50 years (how incredible is that?) ✨

The room was packed and full of warmth as Jude shared her talk, “What Adult Social Care looks like in 2026”, taking the ladies on her own journey into care 💭💛 From the emotional realities of working in social care, to moments of humour, hope and optimism for the future, it sparked some brilliant conversations and challenged a few long-held misconceptions along the way.

We were also incredibly grateful when the ladies kindly donated £50, which will be passed on to Thanet Dementia Action Alliance, an organisation Jude actively supports on behalf of Chartwell House Care Home 🤝 It’s all part of our commitment to ensuring Chartwell House and Boutique Care Homes remain an integral part of the local community, supporting those affected by dementia and the wider needs of our neighbours.

A huge thank you to the ladies of the St Peter’s Women’s Group for such a warm welcome and for giving us the opportunity to shine a light on the compassionate, life-changing work happening across adult social care every single day 🌟

Community, connection and care, that’s what it’s all about 💙
