Visiting Arbrook House Care Home

raab

Today, I visited Arbrook House, a care home based in Esher, to meet with residents and staff. I also had the opportunity to plant an oak tree in the grounds with resident Claus Tribius.

Arbrook House is set in beautiful grounds on the outskirts of Esher and underwent an extensive refurbishment in 2014. The nurses adopt a flexible care policy, offering practical and emotional support 24-hours a day. A dedicated activity co-ordinator meets with every resident when they arrive at the home in order to tailor activities to their interests, from indoor bowls to ‘sherry and crossword’ afternoons!

My thanks to Stewart Kyle, Regional Manager, and Jonathan May, Home Manager, for meeting with me and to all the dedicated nurses and staff at Arbrook for all they do.
