Downham Grange<br />
State of the art, loving care in Downham Market<br />
Welcome to Downham Grange Care Home, a striking new<br />
purpose-built development in Downham Market.<br />
We provide meaningful person-centred exceptional care for those in<br />
need of residential, respite, nursing or dementia care.<br />
Boasting 62 en-suite bedrooms, the home has<br />
been finished to the most luxurious standards,<br />
with extra-wide corridors, a variety of large<br />
spacious and comfortable lounges and dining<br />
rooms with kitchenette areas that help to promote<br />
independence and social inclusion.<br />
The home has been designed to meet the needs<br />
of people who require nursing and dementia<br />
care. This exciting new development meets our<br />
Kingsley care ethos, responding to individual<br />
needs and providing the highest standards of care.<br />
Like all Kingsley Healthcare Homes, our care is<br />
focused around each person’s individual needs and<br />
wishes. We value and respect how each person<br />
chooses to spend their day.<br />
Our strong ethos of person-centred care runs<br />
through everything we do. Our staff are all highly<br />
experienced and receive on-going training to make<br />
sure that we deliver only the very best quality care.<br />
We really want to make a difference<br />
to the lives of the people we care for.<br />
With this in mind we have built the<br />
home to the highest specifications,<br />
giving particular consideration<br />
to making the design and layout<br />
suitable for people living with a<br />
dementia.<br />
This new home will enable us to<br />
continue to provide high-quality<br />
surroundings and environment. It<br />
will ensure our staff deliver quality<br />
of service and improve the quality of<br />
life of our residents every day.<br />
The staff at Downham Grange go<br />
that extra mile to make the home<br />
feel comfortable and relaxed. We<br />
like Downham Grange to feel like<br />
a ‘home from home’. We encourage<br />
people to take part in the daily living<br />
activities as well as other ongoing<br />
activities that take place throughout<br />
the day.<br />
“It took me just a few<br />
days to feel at home<br />
because the staff are<br />
so welcoming and<br />
caring”<br />

From the Mayor’s Parlour<br />
I have had the privilege of representing Swaffham<br />
at different events this month. There was the<br />
dedication of the Bull roundabout on RAF Marham,<br />
it is fifty years since this was built, and it is 100 years<br />
from when Marham was declared operational as a<br />
training establishment in September 1916. As part<br />
of the commemorations there was a list displayed of<br />
all the squadrons that have been based at Marham<br />
with the first one being No.51 Squadron.<br />
I have been on a walk around Wisbech with the<br />
Mayor of Wisbech and other guests. We stopped<br />
at the Octavia Hill Museum, there is a lot of history<br />
to see and it is well worth a day out. I opened the<br />
Swaffham Cottage Hospital Fete, it was a wet day but<br />
they moved stalls inside where lots of fundraising<br />
was going on. We should all help them as much as<br />
we can, it is a big asset to the town.<br />
We have had some excellent news recently, first<br />
we got a Silver Gilt medal in the Anglia In Bloom<br />
competition which is brilliant, well done to all who<br />
help make the town look good for the judging.<br />
Secondly, we have been successful in securing a grant<br />
to improve and update the Merryweather play area.<br />
The grant was given by the Bags of Help scheme run<br />
by Tesco and, at the beginning of <strong>October</strong>, you will<br />
be able to vote for which scheme receives the higher<br />
levels of funding. Please vote for Swaffham if you are<br />
in Tesco in the first week of <strong>October</strong>.<br />
It is a busy time of year coming up, by the time you<br />
read this we will have had the Food Festival and the<br />
Twinning Visit, and the Church gates will be in place.<br />
The next big event is the Christmas Light Switch-On, to<br />
be held on 25th November, I do hope you come along<br />
and enjoy the market, entertainment and new lights.<br />
