🐾🐥 A Pawsitively Wonderful Visit! 🐰🐱

We had a very special visit from Browells Wood Pet Therapy on Saturday, and what a busy and exciting afternoon it was! ❤️

Our residents were delighted to meet an adorable selection of furry and feathered friends, including two gorgeous kittens, fluffy chicks, rabbits, guinea pigs, and even a very special chicken! 🐱🐱🐥🐰🐹🐔

There were plenty of smiles, cuddles and happy conversations as our residents enjoyed spending time with the animals. The chicken even came prepared for her visit with her very own little bag to make sure our carpets stayed clean! 😂🐔

Animal therapy is a wonderful activity for our residents, providing opportunities for interaction, stimulation and companionship. It can bring back fond memories, encourage conversation and, most importantly, create moments of joy and connection. 💕

A huge thank you to Browells Wood Pet Therapy for bringing such a wonderful group of visitors to see us. We’re already looking forward to their next visit! 🐾❤️

Last Thursday, a number of our residents enjoyed a wonderful afternoon trip aboard the Pinkerton Boat, organised by Jenny Thornton from Right At Home together with Sally, Client Liaison Manager at Camberley Heights.

The afternoon was made even more special as a local couple, David and Margaret, were celebrating their remarkable 70th wedding anniversary. Jenny kindly provided a beautiful celebration cake for everyone to enjoy, along with a selection of cakes, biscuits, and refreshing fresh watermelon.

It was a truly relaxing and enjoyable afternoon for everyone. The weather was perfect, there was plenty of chatting and laughter along the way, and some lovely new friendships were formed.

The feedback from residents was so positive that we're already planning our next boat trip together! 😊🛥️🥂🎂🍉🧁🥳

Where Friendships Are Made !

Making the decision to move into a care home is one of the biggest and most emotional decisions a person and their family can make.

While there are many benefits to care home living, one of the most meaningful is the opportunity to build new friendships.

For many older people, loneliness can become a real challenge when living at home. One of the greatest joys for us at Camberley Heights is watching friendships blossom. There's nothing quite like sharing a good chat, having someone who makes you smile, and creating happy memories together.

That's why we encourage our residents to get to know one another from day one. We've also introduced a buddy system, carefully matching new residents with someone who shares similar interests and hobbies. It gives each new resident a friendly face to turn to, helps them settle in, and creates wonderful opportunities for lasting friendships to grow.

At Camberley Heights, we're not just a care home—we're a community where everyone belongs. 💜

"Life is better with friends" ☺️👭👬🥰

Last Saturday, we held our annual BBQ, and what a wonderful day it was!
The Bistro & outdoor balcony were filled with residents and their families, creating a fantastic atmosphere of togetherness.

Our kitchen team put on an amazing spread of delicious food, and it was a joy to see so many smiling faces, hear so much laughter, and witness the happiness shared throughout the home by residents, family members, and staff alike.

Bringing everyone together is so important, and days like these remind us just how special our community is....here at Camberley Heights...moments like this make all the hard work worthwhile.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined & supported us. Those who couldn't make it were certainly missed, and we hope to see you at our next gathering.

We look forward to creating many more wonderful memories together!

Enjoy the photos! 😁
