🎳 STRIKE! 🎳 Our residents traded in their walking shoes for bowling shoes and had an absolute blast at the lanes today! 🥳✨

There was plenty of laughter, a few “gutter ball giggles,” and even some surprise pros in the mix! 🏆👏 Nothing better than cheering each other on and making fun memories together. 💙

Can’t wait for the next outing—who’s ready for a rematch? 😉

Supporting our teams during World Alzheimer’s Month 🤝

As part of World Alzheimer’s Month, we are proud to share The Dementia Handbook with our Home Managers and Dementia Champions across Hamberley Care Homes.

This week, David Moore, our Head of Dementia, presented a copy of the handbook to Fiona Smith, Home Manager at Richmond Manor.

The handbook has been developed as a practical resource to support our teams in delivering compassionate, relationship-centred care for residents living with dementia and their families.

🌍 This , we’re shining a spotlight on our incredible Dementia Champions across our Hamberley Care Homes.

✨ Justyna & Helen, Dementia Champions at Chawley Grove Care Home in Oxford, shared:

“The most rewarding part of being Dementia Champions is truly seeing and knowing our residents living with dementia for who they really are. We share our knowledge, passion, and skills with colleagues, residents, and families to help create positive change.

As Dementia Champions, it’s our responsibility to be role models, lead by example, and ensure that care is always person-centred. We want the voices and choices of our residents to be heard, and their social, physical, and emotional wellbeing to always come first.” 💜

Through their compassion and dedication, Justyna & Helen help make sure the voices, choices, and wellbeing of residents living with dementia are always at the heart of life at Chawley Grove💫

Thank you, Justyna & Helen, for all that you do! Your dedication makes such a difference to residents, families, and colleagues alike.

💜 September is World Alzheimer’s Month 💜

At Hamberley Care Homes, we’re proud to support this global initiative to raise awareness, challenge stigma, and highlight the importance of compassionate dementia care.

Earlier this year for dementia action week, we sat down with our Head of Dementia, David Moore, to talk about the small changes we can all make to better support those living with dementia and their families. His insights remain just as relevant today.

👉 You can revisit the conversation here: https://www.hamberleycarehomes.co.uk/news-events/2025/in-conversation-with-david-moore-head-of-dementia-at-hamberley-care-homes/

Throughout September, we’ll be sharing stories and reflecting as we continue to champion understanding, kindness, and connection for people living with dementia. 💙

To mark Dementia Action Week (19th – 25th May 2025), we sat down with David Moore, our Head of Dementia, to explore how Hamberley Care Homes supports individuals living with dementia—and what families, care professionals, and the wider community can do to make a meaningful difference.

We had a wonderful time visiting the Upton in Bloom Show and admiring all the fantastic entries on display this year. 🌸🍅 From beautiful produce to creative displays, there was so much talent to see!

We’re especially proud (and a little biased 😉) because some of our very own residents entered the show. Their skills and creativity never cease to amaze us, and we couldn’t be prouder. ✨ One of our fabulous residents has won first prize for her beautiful cross stitch! We are absolutely thrilled for her what an amazing achievement. A huge well done from all of us, we’re so proud of you! 💐💖. 1️⃣🏆🏆

🚂✨ All Aboard the Intercontinental Express at Cofton Park Manor! ✨🚂

Last week, our care home Cofton Park Manor in Cofton Hackett took residents, families, and the local community on an unforgettable journey around the world – all without leaving the home! 🌍

From Italy’s rich flavours and Mexico’s vibrant fiesta, to the sunshine spirit of Greece, the electric energy of Ibiza (complete with a neon rave 🪩🎶), and finally Sweden – each day was packed with themed food, live entertainment, and cultural activities.

They even had their very own train conductor checking passports as guests boarded for each destination – adding to the fun and sense of adventure! 🚉✈️

The atmosphere was filled with laughter, music, dancing, and connection – a perfect reminder that life doesn’t stop when you move into a care home; it’s just the start of a new chapter filled with amazing experiences. 💙

A huge thank you to the incredible Cofton Park Manor team for hosting such a creative, joy-filled week – right down to the tiny details that made it feel like a true holiday for our residents.

When the gang gets together for ice cream, it’s less about catching up and more about who can demolish theirs without wearing half of it before it melts. 🍦😂 Nothing like good company and glorious sunshine to make the day sweeter! ☀️❤️

☀️ Oh, I do love to be beside the seaside! It was such a beautiful day, so we couldn’t think of anything better than heading down to Boscombe Beach. We wandered along the pier, reminisced about fond memories from years gone by, and then treated ourselves to a refreshing drink while doing a little people-watching. Perfect way to spend the day! 🌊✨
