If you're in the area then please pop in for tea, cake and entertainment provided by our very own 'Coombeless Wonders' band. 🎹🎵🎶

Today we witnessed a beautiful moment where a few of our residents were helping our colleagues clear up after breakfast. We recognise the importance of ensuring our residents are stimulated and actively engaged, allowing them to live a fulfilled life. This highlights the importance of taking the time to get to know each resident and understand how they lived their lives before they moved into our home. This is why we provide 'person centered' care to all our residents who have individual and meaningful care plans. 🤗💜

In celebration of Pride Month we invited 'Mama G' to our home and she put on an exceptional performance! Mama G who appeared on Britain's Got Talent a few years ago, was very popular amongst the residents where many of them invited her back for a drink. 🥂

Coombe Hill Manor is an inclusive home where we welcome people from all walks of life and we embrace the beauty that lies within us all. 💞

Showcasing a few dishes from the kitchen, our team of chefs have produced some beautiful breaded haloumi on a bed of confit red pepper and elevated sausage & mash with crispy onions. For residents on a specialist diet, they have expertly made mozzarella & tomato and prawn cocktail, modified to a level 4 texture. Regardless of dietary needs and preferences, we can cater for all palates enabling residents to enjoy their meals which not only taste good but look great too!

Research shows that quiz's don't just help mentally simulate an individual but can help improve memory recall and slow cognitive decline in people living with dementia. Last week we enjoyed a quiz where staff and residents from all communities joined in. The winner was Marion who was over the moon with her prize! 😀🥂🍾

This week our Group Operations and Sales Director, Vishul wanted to personally thank our carers for all their hardwork and dedication.

Here at Coombe Hill Manor, we have a giant scrabble board which is a big hit amongst our residents! 😃

Studies show that scrabble can lower the risk of mental illness by keeping the brain stimulated and engaged, makes you happy, reduces blood pressure, improves the immune system and improves memory.

Some of our residents enjoyed an Art & Pamper session yesterday - a great time had by all!

Some of our residents were test driving our latest toy this weekend - the Motiview Exercise Bike. It sets the focus on physical activity through a choice of 1,700 locations on stationary bikes via a video projection that plays whilst the person pedals. The combination of exercise and visual stimulation increases activity levels in older people, and gives them the opportunity to revisit familiar places from their childhoods and other important points in their lives. Come in and give it a try - it's amazing!!!

Our resident and budding artist, Zarina, has been showcasing some of her wonderful art and colorings around the home

Tuesday treat time! Our well stocked Cafe Renoir has some wonderful sweet and savory treats on offer today. We have Tomato & Cheese Quiche, Sticky Toffee Cake, Marble Cake, Meringue, Fruit Pots and Gluten Free Carrot Cake. Please do call in to sample these delights

At the start of yet another busy week, we have the pleasure of introducing Steve, our new Head Chef. Steve began his career as a professional chef in 1980 and after many enjoyable and successful years in hotels and restaurants, he decided to join the care home sector through Signature in late 2021 in a regional capacity. Encouraging Steve to say a few words "During my time at regional level I have worked in many Signature kitchens with some amazing people having gained an idea of what the company is about and how much they care about the wonderful service they provide. Working with Signature has allowed me to really express myself as a chef and add to my already vast experience. After spending time on the road, I have decided to settle down and dedicate myself to the wonderful residents and team at Signature at Coombe Hill Manor. My aim is to use my knowledge of food production and preparation and along with the requirements of our residents, to bring them the best possible dining experience". Great to have you with us Steve!
