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 />
On 15th September I attended a ceremony at<br />
County Hall to remember all those that lost<br />
their lives in the Battle of Britain. I marched with<br />
veterans to St Nicholas Church, Dereham for<br />
Dereham’s Battle of Britain service on Sunday<br />
18th September.<br />
From 22d to 26th September was the twinning<br />
weekend. On Friday we had a welcome tea and<br />
cakes at the Green Britain Centre where we<br />
showed a film of all the activities around the 800<br />
year celebrations of Swaffham as a market town,<br />
our thanks to the museum for making and sharing<br />
the film.<br />
Saturday started with the civic meeting at the<br />
Town Hall, lots of Ideas were discussed for a<br />
new charter which will be signed at the 50th<br />
Anniversary in France in 2018. In the afternoon it<br />
was off to Gressenhall Museum and in the evening<br />
it was the turn of the twinning club to host all for<br />
a dinner and dance. Sunday was the Civic lunch at<br />
Lynford Hall. They all departed on Monday, and I<br />
would like to say a big thank you to all the hosts<br />
and staff for their support.<br />
I had a walk around the town on Friday 7th<br />
October, but it was not the same as I have done<br />
many times before, this time I had a blindfold on<br />
and was being lead by a member of Guide Dogs<br />
for the Blind, it felt very different and I found that<br />
there are a lot of things to bump into, lamp posts,<br />
tables and chairs, A-boards and even cars that had<br />
parked over the pavement. Please think about the<br />
blind when you put out A-boards and how you<br />
park your car. Try it yourself it will make you think.<br />
