We took 26 of our residents Wheelchair Ice Skating

CHD Living

In January, we took 26 of our residents, who were aged between 35 – 96, wheelchair ice skating. With multiple residents having expressed a desire to go ice skating again whilst reminiscing about skating in their youth during the festive period, the team at CHD Living decided to organise a special day out for them to relive their younger days. The group, which also included two residents on end of life care, an amputee and a 35 year old recovering from a serious brain injury, wrapped up warm to enjoy turns on the rink alongside their carers. This is one example of why we are #GladtoCare.

Gratitude to our staff

Downing Care

My focus always switches between the attention of our vulnerable residents and our employees. I make sure that I pay particular attention to the staff’s morale as over the years of working in the care sector I realise that the demands on the job and life stresses can have a negative effect on all of. Part of our daily working routine is a lot of fun and laughter. We make sure that our homes are a comfortable, inclusive and happy place to work where everyone is seen as not just our employee but an individual too. They also appreciate a sweet treat that I regularly send to all our employees, to express my gratitude.
