This week, in celebration of ‘Community Week’ at East Kent College, Copperfield Court Care Home had the pleasure of hosting a visit from the talented team at the Yarrow Spa Hotel. The visit is part of a wider initiative to support local care facilities, bringing specialised beauty and wellness services directly to the residents.
The Yarrow Hotel team, consisting of Zoe, Trish, and Amy, brought a wealth of experience and professionalism to Copperfield Court. Zoe, who has managed the Yarrow Hotel salon for the past eight years and boasts 17 years in the beauty industry, was accompanied by Trish, a skilled stylist with five years at the hotel, and Amy, a senior therapist with extensive experience in holistic therapies, including work aboard cruise ships. This visit marked the first time the Yarrow Hotel team had offered their services in a care home setting, and they were warmly welcomed by residents and staff alike.
Residents received a variety of treatments, from soothing hand and head massages to nail painting, which provided not only relaxation but also a delightful shared experience. The Copperfield Court team also enjoyed the treatments, enhancing the sense of community within the home. Incorporating holistic therapy is essential to promoting the wellbeing of both residents and team members, creating a joyful and nurturing environment.
Reflecting on the visit, Trish commented on Copperfield Court’s inviting decor and praised the attentiveness and cheerfulness of the team. Zoe noted the positive feedback from residents regarding the high quality of care they receive and their evident happiness.
Eve Balcombe, Registered General Manager at Copperfield Court, shared her enthusiasm for the initiative: “The Yarrow Spa Hotel’s visit has brought such joy to our residents and team alike. Community Week has been a wonderful opportunity to welcome the Yarrow team, and we look forward to more collaborations that enrich the lives of everyone here.”
The Yarrow Hotel, based in Broadstairs, operates as part of East Kent College, providing students with an invaluable opportunity to gain hands-on experience after completing their qualifications.
