Bulwell care home honours carers for National Carers Week

Carers Week is an annual event to raise awareness of caring, highlighting the challenges carers face, and recognising the contribution they make to our residents, families and communities throughout the UK. The theme for Carers Week this year is ‘putting carers on the map’ to try to raise awareness in an election year for the huge contribution carers make to society.

Staff were treated to cards and medals made by our residents and the home manager Jodie Rakhar treated the carers to boxes of chocolates and drinks.

Residents also gave thanks to a local carers at a support group at Ravensworth Road Methodist Church by taking handmade cards and handwritten letters to carers with a small gift of thanks for all that they do.

Jodie Rakhar, General Manager said: “It is so wonderful to be able to celebrate Carers Week and thank our fantastic carers for all the hard work they do.”

Pauline Bosworth, a resident at Barchester Hall Park commented: “We’ve all had such a lovely time today, it really is a joy to be able to thank our wonderful carers for all that they do. They really are heaven sent.”

Our varied life enrichment programme keeps residents active, and provides a daily choice of engaging physical, mental and spiritual activities tailored to residents’ interests and abilities.
