Another busy week at Broomgrove

Another very active and busy week for our residents with our usual active games and our physiotherapist doing her rounds. We have also had a visit from Helena who does a yoga class for our residents which they thoroughly enjoy.

Also, Zoo Lab come to visit us showcased a varied range of insects and exotic animals such as tree frogs, snails, hissing cockroaches, python, and millipedes. This raised many interesting questions from some of the residents (See pictures).

We also enjoyed our fortnightly music club; this week it was Marcia’s choice. Later in the week we had some fun playing wildlife bingo, coloring morning and film afternoon on Saturday watching ‘The Greatest Showman’.

My mother, who died recently, lived at Broomgrove for the final three and a half years of her life. She had moved house only once before, over 90 years previously, but she quickly felt at home in Broomgrove. Because Broomgrove offers nursing care, my mother was glad to know that she would be unlikely to need a further move. It was also reassuring to know that Broomgrove is an independent, well established, local charitable Trust.
Broomgrove provides exceptionally good care and an amazing programme of activities and social events. My mother especially enjoyed Broomgrove’s lovely sheltered garden – one of the many features of Broomgrove that make it ‘home’ rather than ‘A Home’. For residents and their family and friends, Broomgrove removes the worry of day to day care and makes spending time with loved ones a real pleasure. We all felt – and will always feel - part of Broomgrove’s extended ‘family’ and we are so grateful to all the staff, management and trustees.

Frances S (Daughter of Resident) Testimonial

My aunt has been a resident at Broomgrove for nearly ten years and whilst she has many challenges physically, her intellect is as sharp as ever. She's always felt totally at home at Broomgrove. I visit her regularly and she's always full of praise for the care and professionalism of the staff. The home always has a relaxed and happy vibe and the staff always go the extra mile to ensure she's as comfortable as possible.
