Manchester care home Resident enjoys garden loungeMr Hubert Thomas, a Resident at HC One’s Chorlton Place care home, enjoys a relaxing time in the garden lounge.

Mr Hubert Thomas is a general nursing Resident at the Manchester care home, who likes the garden but does not get much opportunity to sit in the garden due to his level of frailty.

Kath Cox the homes Support manager, and Kayley Dixon the peripatetic deputy manager, were conducting a ward round in the morning of the 23rd September 2020. Mr Hubert Thomas expressed a wish to see the garden.

The care staff assisted Mr Hubert Thomas to get washed and dressed and arrangements were made for him to come down stairs in his specialist chair to the garden lounge. This way he could see the garden and spend some one to one time with the support manager Kath. 

This made his day, he was happy and content seeing the garden. It was lovely for the staff to see his reaction and enjoy seeing his favourite space.
