🧀 National Cheese Day at Barclay Gardens 🧀✨

Our residents had a delightful time celebrating National Cheese Day today! 😄
They enjoyed a beautifully presented platter filled with a wonderful selection of cheeses, crisp crackers, sweet figs, juicy grapes and a variety of delicious chutneys 🍇🧀🍯

There was plenty of chatting, tasting and smiling as everyone shared their favourites and soaked up the relaxed, social atmosphere 💛 Moments like these are all about enjoyment, choice and togetherness — and this one certainly hit the spot!

A truly tasty way to celebrate… and definitely a day our cheese lovers won’t forget 😋👏

Today our residents enjoyed a wonderful hairdressing session here at Barclay Gardens, and it was full of smiles, chats and fabulous transformations 💖

From fresh trims and beautiful blow-dries to feeling relaxed and pampered, our residents absolutely loved every moment.

There’s nothing quite like a trip to the hairdresser to lift spirits, boost confidence and leave everyone feeling their very best 🌸

Thank you to our lovely hairdresser for bringing the salon experience to our home and making our residents feel so special ✂️💫

✨Namaste Session Moments✨

Today’s namaste session was pure bliss 💜

I gently massaged a resident’s hands, arms, and head using clary sage and lavender oils, while lavender oil softly diffused through the room.

The therapeutic light created a beautiful aurora effect, and calming spa music set the tone for deep relaxation 🌌🎶

After the session, we enjoyed a cappuccino and a lovely chat ☕💬

Her words at the end truly touched my heart:
“I feel like you’ve taken me somewhere else.”

These moments are a reminder of how powerful touch, scent, light, and presence can be 💫
So grateful to create experiences that nurture calm, connection, and wellbeing 💜🙏

Our Barclay Family-
Thank you all for making this one of our best years yet.
Together, we have achieved something truly special. Becoming an award-winning team is an incredible milestone, but even more meaningful is the strong, supportive community we have built along the way. That sense of connection, trust, and care is felt every day—and it exists because of you.
Your dedication, compassion, and teamwork are the heart of everything we do. Each contribution, big or small, has helped create an environment where people feel valued, supported, and proud to belong. This success is entirely down to the commitment of our staff and the strength of our village.
We are deeply grateful for all that you do and for the care you give so generously. Thank you for an exceptional year and for everything you continue to bring to our home.
Happy New Year to you all.
Love Debbie&Emma

🧝‍♂️✨ Elf Day Festivities at Barclay Gardens! ✨🧝‍♀️

What a truly magical day we’ve had! Today we celebrated Elf Day filled with festive cheer and heart-warming moments 🎄💖

We were delighted to welcome St Matthew’s Church, who joined us for a beautiful blessing and carol service. It was a very special time, and each of our residents was kindly gifted a hand-knitted angel, made with so much love — a keepsake that will be treasured 🤍👼

Afterwards, the fun continued with some delicious Elfie snacks, bringing smiles, laughter, and a sprinkle of Christmas magic all around 🍪🎅

Thank you to everyone who helped make today so memorable.

Days like these mean so much to our residents and staff alike ✨💫
