Croft Meadow care home is celebrating 10 years of delivering care for its residents.

The care home marked the milestone with a celebratory cake, drinks and afternoon tea. Residents, staff and family members were joined by local singer, Kate Bassett who sang a mixture of old-time favorites and some modern hits and also, Seth, Grandson of resident Bruce Beresford -Theurer, who delighted everyone with a performance on the keyboard with popular pieces including Fur Elise by Beethoven and A Million Dreams from The Greatest Showman.

Cllr Kate Rowbottom, Cllr Tim Lloyd and Alun Thomas, chairman of Shaw healthcare – which operates the home – also joined the celebrations as well as Ian Ivatt from Steyning History Society who gave a talk about the local area.

Sharalee Thrumble, home manager, commented: “The recent celebrations were a way to say ‘thanks’ to our hard-working staff and provide a fun-filled afternoon for our residents and their families. The residents especially enjoyed the musical performance, providing them a throwback to their youth – a well-known way of supporting those suffering with memory-loss issues.”

Croft Meadow provides residential care for up to 60 residents including those living with dementia. Shaw healthcare provides a spectrum of services from comprehensive care packages through to low level support in the community for older people and adults with physical, sensory or mental health support needs.
