There was a lot of egg-citement at the home as three chicks hatched throughout the week. Residents were able to pet and feed the chicks as they found their footing in their new home.

General Manager Laura Tindle said: “It was an eggs-cellent day when the eggs finally hatched! Residents at Chester Court as well as our team were all very excited about the new-borns, we’ve named the chicks George, Charlotte and Louis after the royal princes and princess. For anyone who would like to come for a visit of our chicken coop and have a tour of our home our doors are always open.”

Our varied life enrichment programme keeps residents active, and provides a daily choice of engaging physical, mental and spiritual activities tailored to residents’ interests and abilities.

Chester Court Care Home is run by Barchester Healthcare, one of the UK’s largest care providers, which is committed to delivering high-quality care across its care homes and hospitals. Chester Court provides residential care and nursing care for 41 residents from respite care to long term stays.
