Chorleywood Beaumont honours carers for National Carers Week

Residents at Chorleywood Beaumont care home in Rickmansworth, run by Barchester Healthcare, are celebrating National Carers’ Week, which takes place from June 8-14. Residents wanted to thank all the wonderful staff at the home, whose hard work and dedication make a real difference to the lives of those living in their care.

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 ‘building carer friendly communities’ to improve recognition and support for Britain’s 5.8 million unpaid carers.  Carers Week aims to raise awareness of the challenges carers face, acknowledge the vital contribution of carers and encourage them to seek support.

Staff were treated to an afternoon party in the lounge with live music from. Our Head chef had put together a wonderful spread of party food for everyone to enjoy.  Family and friends arrived throughout the afternoon to join in the fun with staff and residents.
