Here is the second event of the initiative ‘Come Dine with Roseway House’ led by Dawn Lyon, the Lifestyle Activities Coordinator at Roseway House. Inspired by the popular TV series, Dawn started this initiative, where residents visit other care homes to dine together. Her thoughtful initiative is to encourage new friendships, bonding, and community involvement.
In this second event of the initiative, the Roseway House team hosted the residents from Stapleton House and Palmers Dene for a magical evening. The theme of the night was ‘007 Bond – Dress to Impress’. The evening commenced with a gourmet feast, with scotch egg and black pudding starter, followed by the exquisite ‘Marry Me Chicken’ served with sauté potatoes. To end the evening on a sweet note, guests indulged in ginger cake with ice cream and rhubarb coulis encased in a caramel dome. Shirley brightened up the ambience with her singing.
The ‘Come Dine with Me’ is a big success, emphasizing the importance of community, connection, and shared moments of happiness.
Testimonials
“My dad became a resident in June 2023. I was a little apprehensive as I did not know what to expect.
However, after meeting the manager and her wonderful staff, Dad made the move.I can honestly say that everything that Dad needs is taken care of without any questions asked. The residents and all the staff are amazing.”

“Mam moved into Roseway House in September 2022 for palliative care. She was in a lovely quiet room next to the nurse's office. She loved all of the staff and had her favourites. All the staff (nurses, carers, cleaners) genuinely cared for her. I felt cared for by the team too, when I found it all too much. When I arrived at her bedside the day she died, there were two carers sitting with her, holding her hands and making sure she knew she was not alone. While no one wants to end their days in a home, Roseway has to be one of the best. Thank you.”
