The atrium to the Chiswick Nursing Home’s Kensington Suite was turned into a near-perfect concert venue for a classical performance from two budding musical stars.

Pianist, Mar (Maria) Umbert Kimura, who studies at the Royal College of Music and violinist, Lewis Lee, from the Guildhall School of Music, held our audience spellbound with a beautiful recital.

The Chiswick’s newly-tuned piano was waiting for Mar as, together with Lewis, they performed a programme of works from Elgar, Massenet and Kreisler. One resident was so moved that she said ‘it brought tears to her eyes’. Residents, family members, friends and staff enjoyed it so much, they hope the young pair will return soon.

Mar and Lewis perform together regularly on the classical music circuit. Mar is already the recipient of The Davison Young Musician Award 2024 and Lewis, a keen chamber music performer, also has a number of awards under his belt. Both promise much for the future. We wish them every success with their continuing studies and look forward to welcoming them back in the not too distant future.

Lateef Does Our Buckingham Suite Proud.
Health Care Assistant, Lateef Fashola can be relied upon to always do his best for residents on our Buckingham Suite. His hardworking, dedicated approach to care has not gone unnoticed by his colleagues who nominated him for September’s Employee of the Month award.

Lateef, who has been with us for almost three years, always goes about his work with a smile on his face. His colleagues also highlighted his passion for the job, being friendly and helpful, always on time, polite, professional and a real team player.

What more could our residents and staff wish for? Well done Lateef.

Our residents have been getting into the Halloween spirit during this week’s arts and crafts session, which was transformed into a celebration of all things autumn! Together, we decorated pumpkins and painted bats and cats, filling the room with creativity and seasonal cheer.

A special thank you goes to the relative of one of our residents, who kindly provided the pumpkins — lovingly grown in South London. Your thoughtful contribution made our activity extra special and truly helped set the scene for a wonderfully spooky season!

When we look good, we feel better. And when we feel better, we want to look good. This might explain why one of our visiting hairdressers, Victoria, is kept busy when she comes to The Chiswick on a Thursday.
She tends to clients in our fully equipped, on-site hairdressing salon. It means that residents don’t have far to go to look a million dollars and they don’t have to wrestle with the elements afterwards.
It is strange to think that something as simple as having one’s hair done can dramatically affect how we feel about ourselves but it works, every time.

Well Done Gerard
Our brilliant staff continue to impress by going above and beyond their job spec to win our Employee of the Month award.
Gerard Rodrigo is one such individual. He works as a Health Care Assistant on our Kensington Suite where residents are often younger adults who require the highest standard of specialist nursing care for complex needs. These span traumatic or acquired brain injury, early onset Parkinson’s, stroke, multiple sclerosis or Huntingdon’s disease.
This suite also offers long term rehabilitation alongside maintenance physiotherapy and occupational therapy programmes. Staff are well versed in the management of specialist feeding systems, nutritional needs and inputs, complex continence care, bariatric care and diabetes management.
As a Health Care Assistant, Gerard works alongside our nursing and other medical staff providing invaluable support that enables others to carry out the more specialist procedures. His colleagues, as well as residents, nominated him for this award citing a long list of positive attributes including his passion for the job, his caring attitude, helpfulness, energy, patience, professionalism, excellent timekeeping and being a good team player.
Well done Gerard. You are a credit to the Kensington Suite and to CNC.

With ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ back on our screens, we captured our own heartwarming moment when a resident shared a joyful dance with one of our carers. It prompted many smiles and laughter from onlookers and demonstrates not only the bond between staff and residents but also the power of music and movement to bring happiness to everyday life.

Dance stimulates the mind, exercises the body, lifts mood, and reduces feelings of isolation by creating shared moments of connection.

Our carers often go above and beyond to ensure that residents feel valued and engaged. Simple activities like a brief dance can brighten someone’s day, foster community spirit, and create lasting memories.

This touching scene is a reminder that joy can be found in the smallest of gestures—and that sometimes, the best therapy is simply a little music and a dance.

You might be forgiven for overlooking those quietly beavering away behind the scenes but it is just those people who form the foundations of the pyramid here at The Chiswick Nursing Centre. They are indispensable and allow our front line staff to deliver the high quality nursing and social care of which we are justly proud. Pascoela Margarida Vales is one of those people and we are delighted to recognise her contribution with an Employee of the Month award.
Pascoela is a Housekeeping Assistant and a very important cog that helps to keep the wheels turning. In fact, she has been making things run smoothly for the past 10 years. Housekeeping staff maintain cleanliness and hygiene throughout the care home, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for residents. Responsibilities include cleaning resident rooms and common areas, laundering linens, managing waste disposal, and maintaining infection control measures.
Colleagues put Pascoela forward for the award for being hard working, friendly, always happy and pleasant, supporting the team (most important) and helpful to anyone who seeks her assistance. That’s no mean feat after a decade in the job. Well done Pascoela.

Chiswick Nursing Centre residents spent an absorbing couple of creative art sessions producing colourful canvas tote bags.
The bags were supplied with a geometric design stencil on both sides and our willing artists were invited to colour them in using pens.
Concentration was palpable as they took to their task. The session proved to be enjoyable and beneficial as it brought a number of important physical and mental health skills into play. These included dexterity, focus, stress relief, social interaction with fellow artists and a sense of achievement when the colourful and practical bags were completed.
A fun and therapeutic time was had by all – plus they had something attractive and practical to show for their efforts.

This week we were delighted to celebrate a special occasion here at the Chiswick Nursing Centre – our Care Certificate Ceremony.

A huge congratulations to the 26 team members who successfully completed their Care Certificate training. This training covers 15 standards that are all about providing safe, kind, and compassionate care – values that are at the heart of everything we do.

The Care Certificate is a national award, supported by Skills for Care, NHS England, and Skills for Health, and it shows that our team has a strong foundation of skills, knowledge, and behaviours. Most importantly, it gives our residents and their loved-ones peace of mind, knowing they are cared for by dedicated professionals.

We are so proud of our staff for their hard work and commitment. This achievement is not just a recognition of their learning, but a celebration of the care, compassion, and teamwork that shines through every day at the Chiswick Nursing Centre.

A Big Thank You to The Raven – fundraiser for Rock ’n’ Roll Fun!Earlier this summer, The Raven pub in Hammersmith proved that good pints and good people make for a winning combination. Thanks to the generosity of the pub and its patrons, just over £500 was raised to boost the activities programme here at The Chiswick Nursing Centre.

Molly and Ruby from The Raven came by for a grand tour of the Centre, meeting staff and residents along the way. After seeing the care in action, they handed over the money raised that will bring plenty of smiles and maybe a few hip shakes.

So, what’s next? We’ll be putting the funds to excellent use with a very special event: an Elvis impersonator! Get ready for blue suede shoes, plenty of hip-swinging, and a rock ’n’ roll singalong that will have everyone from the ground floor to the top floor “all shook up.”

A huge thank you again to The Raven, its staff, and community for helping us keep the activities calendar full of fun, laughter, and a little bit of rock ’n’ roll magic.

Well done to Nithin Eldho who has become one of our Employee of the Month award winners
Nithin joined the Chiswick Nursing Centre two and half years ago and works as a Healthcare Assistant on our Belgravia Suite. This suite provides high quality care to residents who are frail and elderly, and who require nursing to help maintain a good quality of life. Staff assist those with regular and high needs and/or who require specialist input – for instance in areas such as tissue viability to treat and prevent pressure sores.
Nominated for his award by colleagues and residents, Nithin was praised for being kind, friendly, continually happy and pleasant, a good team player and always helpful to anyone who seeks his assistance.

The sun shone on our garden and made it a wonderful setting for our Tropical ‘Aloha’ summer party organized by our wonderful Activities Team.

Residents, staff and guests gathered in our extended outdoor space to admire the plants and residents artwork whilst supping on a refreshing glass of summer punch. Delicious smells, meanwhile, wafted from the sizzling bbq prepared by our chef Micheal and his team and our Centre Director was on hand to serve the delicious food.

There wasn’t long to wait until everyone was able to tuck in to the mouth-watering food. To top it all, we were royally entertained by the aptly named ‘West Bound Piccadilly’ with their repertoire of mainly, country music with gentle harmonies, led by Emma. Guests had a sing-a-along to some of the better known songs and there were a few toe tappers too.

What better way to savour the summer than to share it with our friends, family and loved ones?
