Birchwood House had a very special visit from a furry friend! 🐶

Niral recently welcomed a new pup, and we couldn't be happier to introduce Ayla to our residents.

Safe to say, everyone loved her visit!

Ayla's the sweetest, and we think she's paws-itively adorable 💚

Life is not just what you do in work!

We encourage all our carers to try new hobbies in their free time, and we're so grateful for our local connections in making this possible 💚

Take the Hotel Club (Maidstone) as an example. Our management love the Village Gym facilities, and it's done wonders both physically and mentally.

We support all our staff in getting involved with these local communities, and making sure we all have a healthy work-life balance. 💪

We're wishing a very happy birthday to Julia (for today) and Ibrahim (for the 28th). You are both amazing carers, and have been wonderful assets to the Birchwood family, since day one!

Have amazing days! 🥳

Lest we forget 💚

Last week, our residents commemorated Remembrance Day with a poppy colouring session.

Growing across the battlefields of World War 1, poppies became a powerful symbol for those who lost their lives in conflict.

This year, and every year, we will remember their sacrifice 🙏

Today marks the start of self care week, and this year's theme is 'Mind and Body' 🧠

This means recognising the connection between mental and physical health, and doing everyday actions to support both of these.

And for autumn, there's lots of things to get involved in! For those getting outdoors, there's nature walks, conker collecting and planting bulbs in preparation for spring.

And if you're staying indoors, there's autumn-themed crafts, and endless seasonal recipes to try. We've linked our latest blog in the comments, giving you all the activity inspo you need 💚

How will you be getting involved? 🧐

We want to give top tips for helping your loved ones celebrate autumn - we're here to help you get involved in the autumn spirit!
