Orchard Care Homes is one of the leading providers of care in the UK. We provide several types of care across our care homes including Specialist Dementia care and we want to show support and help raise awareness in aid of The Alzheimer’s Society.

We had a few ideas about what we could do to make an impact and have decided to jump out of a plane from a breath taking 15,000ft. 5 members of staff and Paul Mancey (CEO of Orchard Care Homes) will be diving through the clouds to help raise much needed funds for this amazing charity and also to show our support to our many residents and their loved ones.

We have decided to aim high and are looking to raise £3,000 for the charity so please help us by donating as much as possible.

About Orchard Care Homes

 

In an ideal world we would all grow old in our own homes in the best of health. However this is not always possible. The time may have come for you to choose a care home for yourself or a loved one. Although this is a difficult decision, moving to a care home has positive benefits; 24-hour care alleviates worry, companionship removes isolation and there is often a renewed sense of independence. Orchard has quality care homes across the North of England. Each one is purpose-built, beautifully decorated and superbly equipped with en-suite facilities, quiet lounges and sensory gardens.

At Orchard we care about every detail of our residents’ lives, their health, diet, exercise and mental stimulation. Our residents are encouraged to get the most out of life, whilst receiving the very best in care.
