Extension News #7
by

on Fri 23 Jul 2010 14:51 BST
  
I can’t believe how quickly work is now
progressing; I’m extremely pleased with the progress and have now ordered the
furniture for phase 1 as we are so close to completion for this phase (September). I went on site this
week with site manager Dan to have a look around the first two bedrooms and make final
decisions on where sockets are to go, the track hoisting and TV points etc – my
word, there is just so much to think about!
As you can see from the pictures the
foundations in phase 2 are coming along nicely and it is exciting to see the
layout of the bedrooms from the foundations as well.

Bingo!
by
Zoe
on Wed 21 Jul 2010 14:49 BST
 
I don’t think we have had
a game of Bingo for some time now but Sarah, one of the students from Steyning
Grammar asked if she could bring in her Bingo game last week and facilitate this with the
residents. It was lovely to see and one of the residents was delighted when he
won as you can see from the pictures!

This past week we've had another two
students from Steyning 6th form Grammar School spend time with us at Valerie Manor. Sarah Mack and Phoebe
Hale have spent the week joining in with various activities and brightening up the days of our residents. They have been developing the life histories of our residents who loved chatting with the girls about their lives which was so lovely to see. We hope you enjoyed your week with us
Sarah and Phoebe! We've really enjoyed having you and wish you all the best for the future.

Environmental Health Inspection

on Fri 02 Jul 2010 13:32 BST
 My word, in the middle of everything and with a
temporary kitchen in place we received an unannounced visit from an
environmental officer from Horsham Council on the 30th June 2010! I
am pleased to say that, even with all the changes and temporary measures that
we have in place at the moment with the building works we passed with flying
colours! I even used it as an opportunity to show the officer our new kitchen
plans to ensure they were happy with what we have organised. Again, a huge
thank you to all the staff who continue to provide high standards with our
temporary arrangements in place. Thank you also to the environmental health
officer who spent a lot of time with me and members of the team in such a
professional manner.

Robin here with an update on June’s
Activities.
. On the Sunday everyone had a different
instrument to play from keyboard to washing board... see Zoe’s photos. On the
Monday my dear Zoe dusted off her tap shoes and danced along to Fred Astaire
with me dressed in tail coat and top hat. How many Care Homes have their own
resident tap dancer ?... I’m going to show a video of both Zoe and Sally-Ann
tapping in one of my shows (sorry girls).
