Six Nations Winners! 🏉🏆

A big congratulations to our Six Nations draw winners — Louise (our fabulous Beautician) and Dan (master 2nd Chef) — who confidently backed France national rugby union team to take the trophy once again with 21 points! 👏🇫🇷

We’re now seriously considering putting their psychic abilities to the test ahead of the next FIFA World Cup… 😄

Meanwhile, over on the residents’ side, we had not one but three winners — Norman, Jo and David — all calling it right and backing France for the win! 🏆

A little bit of fun, friendly rivalry and sporting spirit during this year’s Six Nations at Waterhaven Place Care Home — just the way we like it!

We were delighted to welcome Alexander from George Ide LLP Solicitors today ☕️

It was a pleasure to show him around our beautiful home and share some of the facilities our residents enjoy every day.

Beyond the tour, we had a really valuable conversation about the challenges many families face when navigating care options, and the importance of planning ahead — both from a wellbeing and financial perspective.

These discussions are so important, and we’re always here to offer guidance and support to families at every stage of their journey.

Thank you again for visiting, we look forward to welcoming you back soon!

What a fantastic time we had at our Shamrocks & Shindigs celebration last week! ☘️💚

We truly embraced all things Irish – from lively ceilidh dancing to enjoying a glass of Guinness, along with a delicious spread of Irish-themed treats. The atmosphere was full of laughter, music, and great company.

It was wonderful to see so many smiling faces and everyone getting involved – the energy was simply amazing! Thank you to everyone who helped make the day so special.

Here’s to more moments like this! 🍀✨

Nutrition and Hydration Week at Waterhaven 💧☕

At Waterhaven Place Care Home, we proudly took part in the NHS Global Tea Party initiative as part of Nutrition and Hydration Week — a wonderful opportunity to highlight the vital importance of staying well hydrated.

Hydration plays a key role in overall health and wellbeing, especially for older adults, supporting everything from energy levels to cognitive function. This week is all about raising awareness in a fun, engaging and meaningful way.

Our day was a true team effort, with residents and staff coming together to prepare for the occasion. The morning was filled with a joyful baking session, followed by tea infusions in the afternoon — all leading up to our very own Global Tea Party!🎊
With music, dancing and plenty of laughter (thank you to John for setting the tone 🎶), it was a fantastic way to encourage hydration while bringing everyone together🥰

Thank you to everyone who took part in making this day so special — here’s to keeping hydrated and healthy! 💛

Hydrate during St. Patrick’s! ☘️💧

A perfect blend of St. Patrick’s Day celebrations and Nutrition & Hydration Week here at Waterhaven Place Care Home!

Our residents got creative crafting their very own themed mocktails, adding a splash of fun while highlighting the importance of staying hydrated. Safe to say… the feedback wasn’t too bad at all! 😂🍹

With Irish music playing and a few dance moves thrown in for good measure, it was a fantastic way to combine wellbeing with celebration ☘️🎶

Now, we’re gearing up for our Shamrocks & Shindigs event this Friday, and we’re ready for the Irish flag to fly high!

Celebrating the wonderful mothers! 💐

Today at Waterhaven Place we took a moment to celebrate the incredible mothers who are part of our community. Women whose love, strength and guidance have shaped families and lives for generations.

To mark this special occasion, we brought together residents and their families for a beautiful time of togetherness over a mouthwatering afternoon tea! The room was filled with laughter, heartfelt conversations, delicious treats and the joy of sharing precious moments across generations😍

Motherhood is a journey of care, resilience and unconditional love, and today was our small way of honouring the remarkable women who have given so much throughout their lives.

It was truly heartwarming to see families gathered, memories shared and new ones created around the table🥰

From all of us at Waterhaven Place Care Home, we wish a very Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful mothers and mother figures who make the world a kinder place💗

We’re proud to introduce Waterhaven Place’s Dementia Care Champions 💙

Congratulations to Stasia, Marie and Sam, who have all undertaken our Dementia Care Champion training and are helping to strengthen our commitment to outstanding dementia care.

The programme was designed to be practical, collaborative and reflective. Rather than simply delivering training, we spent time working together in breakout groups, exploring real experiences and asking an important question:

What does being a Dementia Champion really mean to the people who rely on us most?

Throughout the sessions, we explored and reflected on a wide range of topics, including:

• Our Memory Care Strategy
• Key legislation supporting people living with dementia
• The role and responsibility of a Dementia Champion
• CQC Quality Standards and what outstanding dementia care looks like
• Training and development within our homes
• The introduction of our Dementia Library
• Person-centred dementia care
• Different models of dementia care
• “The Story of My Life” – understanding each individual’s journey
• Becoming a Dignity Champion
• What meaningful support really looks like in practice

Most importantly, the sessions created space for our teams to share ideas, challenge thinking and strengthen their passion for supporting people living with dementia.

For us, dementia care isn’t just a training topic — it’s a commitment. A commitment to understanding, compassion, dignity and truly person-centred care.

A huge well done to Stasia, Marie and Sam 👏
The difference you will make in the lives of our residents, families and teams will be profound.
