Furze Field Manor care home in Sayers Common has announced the re-launch of its on-site shop, following thoughtful input and suggestions from the residents’ committee.
Whilst the shop has always been open at Furze Field Manor, additions guided by resident feedback include an expanded selection of goods such as a wider range of confectionery, greeting cards, and additional personal toiletries.
The relaunch was marked by a celebratory event, with residents gathering to enjoy refreshments and explore the updated offerings. A ceremonial ribbon was cut by 85-year-old resident, Charles “Chaz” Mayatt, who said:
“I’m surprised by the variety of sweets we’ve managed to fit in. I have a sweet tooth so I’m sure I’ll be a frequent visitor – and it’s just a stone’s throw from my room so I’m very happy!”
Home Manager Jacquie Ferguson stated: “The shop has always been a valued part of life at Furze Field Manor, but the latest enhancements — driven by our residents themselves — have made it an even more useful and enjoyable space.
“Some of our residents prefer to go to the local supermarkets or retail parks, and others prefer the experience of shopping in the comfort of the home. We are proud to support initiatives that are led by those who live here and reflect their preferences.”
