💚 Thank You, Caroline — and Happy Retirement! 💚

Today we celebrated the retirement of our wonderful Deputy Manager. Over the years, Caroline has been a constant presence — compassionate, dependable, and deeply committed to our residents, families, and team. She has helped shape our culture and make Petworth Cottage the warm, caring home it is today.

The celebration was filled with stories, laughter, gratitude — and a few happy tears — reflecting just how much she means to all of us.

Caroline, thank you for your dedication and your heart. We’re grateful that we’ll still see you for a little while as part of our nurse bank team. Wishing you every happiness in this next chapter 💐

Amid stormy days, here’s a quiet reminder that spring is on its way. 🌦️

These are the first snowdrops in our garden at Petworth Cottage this year — small, resilient, and full of promise.

What are you most looking forward to this spring? New blossoms, longer evenings, or simply more light in the day?

Share your thoughts in the comments, or post a photo if you spot snowdrops on your walks! 📷

January may be cold (and even frosty!) but it hasn’t slowed us down at Petworth Cottage. ❄️

From trips out with residents — including visits to a garden centre and time spent painting — to enjoying winter scenery from the warmth of the minibus, the month has been full of lovely moments.

We’ve also shared afternoon tea and a relaxed cheese-and-wine evening with friends and family.

Whatever the weather, it’s the time spent together that matters. 🩵

On Friday we said a fond farewell to Frankie, who retires after 20 wonderful years with us.

Over her time at Petworth Cottage, Frankie has served faithfully as both a carer and, more recently, in our laundry team… but her impact went far beyond her roles.

She always made time to stop and chat with residents, sharing a smile that lifted spirits. Her gentle presence will be dearly missed by everyone here, but especially by colleagues, because on the tough days, Frankie always brings a kind word of encouragement.

We wish her every happiness as she steps into this exciting new chapter. Thank you, Frankie, for everything. 🌼💚

🫧 Namaste Care at Petworth Cottage 🌿

As part of , we’ve been embracing the gentle, person-centred principles of Namaste Care—a therapeutic approach originally developed to support people with advanced dementia. We have adapted this care more widely to enhance wellbeing for all residents who benefit from additional sensory and emotional support.

From sensory lighting and soothing baths to massage therapy and personalised playlists, we’ve created peaceful spaces where residents can relax and feel truly cared for. 💜

Namaste Care reminds us that meaningful moments don’t need words; just presence, touch, and love.
