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 />
<strong>Swaffham</strong> Arts<br />
The new season started in September with a splendid<br />
concert by Norwich Baroque of music by Vivaldi,<br />
Handel, Rameau, Pachelbel, and the English composers<br />
Purcell and Mudge. The musicianship of the players<br />
was outstanding, and we look forward to hearing some<br />
of them again on October 21st when Norwich Baroque<br />
Quartet comes to the Assembly Rooms. Our third<br />
Baroque concert, to round off the season, is a return<br />
visit of Tale Dolce Musica, “such sweet music”, whom<br />
we first heard last year. The group consists of soprano,<br />
flute, oboe, bassoon and harpsichord continuo, in a<br />
range of combinations, playing more of this wonderful<br />
baroque music which is especially suited to the size and<br />
acoustics of the Assembly Rooms where the concert<br />
will take place, on Sunday November 18th at 3pm.<br />
Tickets are available in advance, priced at £9 for<br />
members and £12 for non-members, from Ceres<br />
Bookshop 01760722504 and the Green Parrot 01760<br />
724704, and on the door. Everyone is welcome; we look<br />
forward to seeing you!<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 />

World Transplant Games Donations<br />
My name is Patricia Mandall and I am raising funds<br />
to cover my expenses associated with attending the<br />
World Transplant Games in Newcastle with any surplus<br />
going towards the Transplant Sport UK who actively<br />
support organ donation. Around 15 years ago I started<br />
to get breathless and was finally diagnosed with<br />
Dilated Cardiomyopathy,<br />
enlarging of the heart, for<br />
which there is no cure. I<br />
would need a transplant.<br />
Eventually, despite being<br />
on medication, my<br />
condition worsened so<br />
that even the simplest<br />
of tasks were a struggle.<br />
I was referred to Royal<br />
Papworth Hospital where<br />
I was prodded and tested<br />
for three days; I was put<br />
on the list but the outlook of a match was small due<br />
to immunity issues. After two and a half years and one<br />
false alarm I had a transplant and my life was given back,<br />
albeit with a strict regime of immunity medication.<br />
I have taken part in three British Transplant Games<br />
and although not the most athletic, I hope I can raise<br />
awareness of organ donation and thank the donor<br />
family who have given me back my life.<br />
Please register on the NHS Organ Donation Register by<br />
on 0300 123 23 23 or at www.organdonation.nhs.uk.<br />
