A celebration of all things cheese

24 January 2018
Residents at Rowanweald Residential and Nursing Home taking part in a cheese and wine evening.

Residents at a Sanctuary Care home in Rowanweald released their inner connoisseur tasting and rating a selection of scrumptious treats in honour of National Cheese Lovers Day.

Surrounded by family and friends, the team and residents at Rowanweald Residential and Nursing Home on Weald Lane enjoyed a cheese and wine evening in preparation for National Cheese Lovers Day on Saturday 20 January.

Brie, Gruyere, Stilton and Cheddar to name a few all took centre stage as the residents scrutinised them based on taste, smell and texture in search of the perfect cracker accompaniment.

The highest rated was unsurprisingly an English Cheddar and then a Dutch Gouda.

Rosie McGlone, activities leader at the home concluded: “Who knew finding the perfect cheese could be so tricky!

“Our residents had a wonderful time sampling and judging the cheese, not forgetting the wine too.”

At Sanctuary Care our number one priority is to keep our residents, their relatives and our staff safe.

With the increasing number of reported cases of Coronavirus in the UK, we have taken the difficult decision to minimise all non-essential visits to our residential and nursing homes until further notice. These include routine visits from loved ones and friends, entertainers, hairdressers, volunteers, work experience students and school parties.

We have not taken this decision lightly and understand this will be upsetting for relatives who want to visit loved ones. We do feel this is the best way to keep our residents safe and is one of many proactive, preventative measures we are taking to stop this infection getting into our homes.

We do hope you understand why we are taking these precautions. Please don’t hesitate to call if you would like to speak to us directly if you have any questions or concerns.
