With the sunshine finally breaking through, Hampton Grange and Gwen Walford Care Homes have undergone a stunning transformation to make their beautiful outdoor spaces summer-ready. In a day reminiscent of a Garden SOS episode, the dedicated Rotherwood team, including estates staff from across the company, gardeners, the Operations team, and the Interim Home Manager, all pitched in to prepare the exteriors.

Overlooking the scenic banks of the River Wye, the homes boast beautiful views that also bring seasonal challenges such as dropped leaves and wildlife. The team tackled these head-on, jet-washing the building, varnishing the decking, planting pots, and adding vibrant pops of colour to the surroundings.
 
The decked terrace has become a wonderful retreat where residents can sit in peace and quiet, listening to the gentle river waters and soaking up the rays. This serene setting is now more inviting than ever.
 
Chief Operating Officer Sharen Guise praised the collective effort, stating, "It was a day filled with camaraderie and true teamwork. At Rotherwood, it doesn’t matter what your role is; we are all delighted to pull together and get a job done."
 
Residents are eagerly looking forward to enjoying the improved outdoor spaces as the pleasant weather continues.
