Summer is slowing edging away from us but the weather is being kind, which enables us to enjoy the outdoors for a bit longer. We love sitting out in the garden chatting with each other whenever possible.
We were delighted to see ‘Salvatore’, our favourite singer, who performed some old favourites of ours in the lounge. It was lovely to get up and dance and have a good sing along with him.
This month we said goodbye to Mel, our activities coordinator. Mel has been with us for over 5 years and has bought many a smile and laugh to us all. Mel is moving on in her career to become a teaching assistant, and we wish her well in her new role. We have been lucky to find a replacement, whilst Mel was still active in her role. Nicki has joined our Home and is fitting in very well indeed. Nicki has worked along side Mel for the past 4 weeks to get to know our residents and their needs. I’m sure Nicki, will succeed in her new role with us.
We will also be saying goodbye to Karen, our Manager on 16th September, who has made the difficult decision to spend more time at home with her family. Karen has also been with us for over 5 years and has helped make Fairby the Home it is today. Karen has made some fantastic relationships with staff, residents and their relatives and will be sorely missed by all.
Taking on the role of Manager is Sacha Rock, who will be joining us on 1st October 2021. Sacha has gained her NVQ5 qualification and has gained experience as a deputy manager of a large dementia care home in Bexley. Sacha is passionate about delivering quality care and I am sure will thrive in our small family run Home. Sacha is looking forward to getting to know everyone and we too look forward to working closely with her.
