Blakelands Lodge Care Home recently had the pleasure of hosting the High Sheriff of Bedfordshire, Bav Shah, for a memorable visit.
During his time at the home, High Sheriff Shah spent several hours getting to know the residents and staff, engaging in heartfelt conversations, and learning more about the daily activities and initiatives at the home.
One resident was recognised for her long and dedicated service with the NHS, and the High Sheriff expressed his appreciation for her contributions to healthcare. He also promised to return for another visit in the near future, much to the delight of everyone at Blakelands Lodge.
High Sheriff Shah commented: “I was delighted to be invited to Blakelands Lodge Care Home to meet the residents and have some wonderful conversations. It was great to see the range of activities that Blakelands offers to keep the residents engaged.
“We also had a chance to discuss what can be done to collaborate with the local community, and I look forward to working together in the future.”
James Eeles-Feeney, Home Manager, said: “It was wonderful of the High Sheriff to take the time to visit us and meet some of our incredible residents and staff. The residents really enjoyed meeting him, and it was a talking point for many days afterwards.”
The visit highlighted the strong sense of community at Blakelands Lodge, where residents are encouraged to stay active, social, and involved in various activities. For more information, call 01234 862 629 or email Blakelands.lodge@hc-one.co.uk.
