Better Together

We are pleased to welcome couples to reside with us across our portfolio of care homes, and we offer a variety of care choices for couples to continue their journey together. On the 5th of December, the team at Southampton Manor hosted a Couples Open Day, welcoming residents and visitors for musical entertainment from Mike Sidaway and various activities, including flower arranging. The dining room was beautifully decorated for the occasion, and each couple enjoyed a romantic meal together prepared by the talented Culinary team.

Residents were delighted, with Iris stating, “What a special treat. It meant a great deal to my husband and I. The food was fantastic, and the atmosphere and company of other couples were lovely. It was a truly enjoyable day.”

Iris and her husband Peter, began their care journey at Southampton Manor with three weeks of respite care following a hospital stay. With Peter needing additional support, they decided to look for a more permanent solution, which meant they could stay together. Their decision has been pivotal in ensuring their well-being and happiness; the pair enjoy meals together and activities as they make precious memories, knowing their needs are taken care of.
