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?

Bingo! The Raven Comes Up Trumps
The Raven pub in Goldhawk Road has become an increasingly popular local for some of our staff and residents who have been known to pop in there for a glass, a bite to eat and even a watch of the telly.
Those behind the bar – and Alfie the pub cat – have become great friends. We are immensely grateful to all of them for a community fundraising day of activities with proceeds going to The Chiswick Nursing Centre.
The action-packed day included an indoor market, kids’ activities, live music, raffle – with a tennis racquet as the prize, bingo and a bbq.

Time for Tea and Custard - A few years ago, we were pleased to visit the Museum of Brands. Packaging and products from days gone by proved a great success in triggering memories and discussion as residents recognised some familiar items.
Based on the products, and as an aid to helping those with dementia, or who struggle with memory and/or communication, the Museum has created and tested a Multisensory Memory Box. Training has also been provided for care home staff, including our own Chris, in its use.
Chris kicked off a recent reminiscence session by reading from a war time cook book. As it was designed to do, this brought back memories of residents’ favourite recipes. A packet of Bird’s Custard also prompted a great deal of nostalgic discussion about making trifle and whether you should use swiss roll or a packet of trifle sponges for the base.
An empty box of Typhoo tea led on to the perennial debate as to whether milk goes in the cup first or last.
There was a well-received half time break, with ice cream, before Chris showed round some Lifebuoy soap packaging and a lively discussion erupted again.

The sun had its hat on and a gentle breeze joined in for the annual Strawberries & Cream Tea at the Chiswick Nursing Centre. Residents and their loved ones gathered in the garden, enjoying the dappled shade and the sweet scent of summer - ready for a treat not just for the palate, but the ears too.

Enter Jean Claude, better known as “Mr Motown,” with vocal cords smoother than clotted cream and humour as light as a Victoria sponge. A true talent, Jean Claude first wowed the nation on Opportunity Knocks in 1976 with his real-life brothers, “The Brothers” (clearly a family who doesn’t waste time on band name brainstorming). They scooped two top-ten hits and have been spreading joy ever since.

These days, Jean Claude flies solo - and what a flight it is! From Tipperary to Summer Holiday, he whisked us through decades of feel-good hits, mixing Motown magic with a healthy dose of charm and cheek.

We clapped, we swayed, we sang, and yes - there may have been a few air tambourines. In between songs, his humour had us chuckling and chatting like old friends. It was an afternoon of smiles, sunshine, and strawberry bliss - a truly special day that hit all the right notes.

This delightful, curly coated, pooch in our picture is called Cleo. She has been visiting us, every Friday afternoon, for some time. Residents and staff look forward to welcoming her and her handler. Once on the premises, she goes to see as many people as she can, including those who are not able to leave their rooms or their beds.
Everyone loves to stroke her soft coat. She gets lots of pats and cuddles and her gentle and patient nature mean that she never seems to mind. An additional benefit of curly coated breeds is that they tend not to shed hair so reduce the risk of allergic reaction.
Cleo leaves all of us with smiles on our faces, in a relaxed state of mind and eagerly anticipating 2.00 pm next Friday.

Everyone here at The Chiswick would like to wish all our Dads, Grandfathers and even Great Grandfathers a very happy Father’s Day.
Father’s Day in the UK began to be recognised just after World War II, but did not become an ‘official’ anniversary until 1972. That means for many of our residents it is a relatively new occasion. Nevertheless, we are sure that some will be getting together with their families to mark the day. And we know that several of our staff Dads will be here on duty so may delay any celebration until later in the day,
Whatever you do and wherever you are, we hope you all have a great time. You deserve it!

Virtual Reality Glasses Transform Care Home Experience

Residents at the Chiswick Nursing Centre are experiencing a new and exciting way to explore the world - without ever leaving their chairs! Thanks to the introduction of virtual reality (VR) glasses, they can now take part in immersive experiences that bring joy, nostalgia, and cognitive stimulation.

From strolling through famous landmarks to diving into the depths of the ocean, these VR experiences offer residents the opportunity to engage in activities that may no longer be physically possible for them. Staff have already noticed improvements in mood, social engagement, and overall well-being, with many residents expressing excitement about their virtual adventures.

“This technology is opening up a whole new world for our residents,” said Arti, Activities Coordinator “It’s incredible to see their faces light up as they explore places they’ve always dreamed of visiting or revisit cherished memories.”

The use of VR in care homes is proving to be a valuable tool for reminiscence therapy, helping individuals with dementia reconnect with past experiences. It also provides entertainment, relaxation, and a welcome break from daily routines.

As The Chiswick nursing Centre continues to embrace innovation in care, Virtual Reality glasses are just one of many ways technology is enhancing the lives of its residents.

The Chiswick Nursing Centre proudly marked the 6th anniversary of International Human Resources Day, a global occasion that highlights the invaluable contributions of HR professionals in fostering inclusive, flexible, and productive work environments.

In recognition of the HR team's vital role in the smooth operation of the Centre, Director Devendra Lallchand expressed his appreciation by presenting each team member with a thoughtful goodie bag.

Head of Human Resources Sarah King praised her team for their unwavering commitment, noting their essential role in shaping the positive and supportive workplace culture that defines The Chiswick.

“Our HR team is at the heart of everything we do — their work ensures that our environment remains inclusive, adaptable and productive,” said Sarah.

The celebration served as a reminder of the profound impact HR professionals have on both people and organisations, and The Chiswick Nursing Centre was proud to honour their efforts on this special day.
