The milestone celebration, which was attended by Shaw healthcare’s CEO, Russell Brown and chairman, Simon Macsorley, was held at Orchard House in Withington on Thursday 5 September. 

Residents and their families enjoyed afternoon tea, cakes and entertainment from local singer, Darrel Barnsdale, who performed many of the resident’s favourite hits from the likes of Elvis and Johnny Cash.

During the event, several employees were recognised for their long service and 90 years of combined experience. 

There was a special mention for support workers, Susan Stocker and Claire Griffiths who celebrated 25 years at the home, having transferred from Herefordshire Council when Shaw healthcare took over the operation of Orchard House in 2004.

Service manager, Michelle Orris commented: “It’s been so lovely to mark this special occasion with residents and their families, and not forgetting the wonderful team here who strive to provide a high standard of care to those who live here.” 

Orchard House provides residential care as well as operating a day care service. Shaw is the largest employee owned care provider in the UK.
