Westerton Care Home Revitalises Café as Social Hub

19.2.25

Westerton Care Home is excited to breathe new life into its café, transforming it into a vibrant social space for residents, relatives, and the community. Once a forgotten corner of the Home, the café is now a welcoming retreat where fresh cakes are served, and the coffee machine stays warm, ensuring a cosy and relaxing environment for all.

Having an accessible café within the Home offers a much-needed escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life in the units. It provides a space where residents and visitors can unwind, stay hydrated, and enjoy meaningful social interactions in a peaceful setting.

The café is not just a place for refreshments – it also serves as a hub for community events and gatherings. From entertainment nights and lively parties to the recent Valentine’s couples’ meal, the space has recently become a cherished venue for special occasions.

Despite its potential, the café is still not being used to its full capacity by visitors. Westerton Care Home encourages more people to take advantage of this warm and inviting space, whether for a quick cuppa, a delicious treat, or a chance to connect with loved ones.

Located on the basement floor, the café may feel separate from the rest of the Home, but it is a vital part of the community within. By promoting its use and ensuring its accessibility, Westerton Care aims to make the café the true heart of the home – a place where everyone can gather, relax, and enjoy the simple pleasures of good company and great refreshments.
