A New Chapter: Kath & David Find Their Forever Home at Trent Bridge Care Home

After years of maintaining their home, tending to their beloved garden, and managing the many daily tasks that come with independent living, Kath and David found themselves longing for a simpler, stress-free way of life. They wanted a home where they could enjoy their golden years without the burdens of upkeep—a place where they could truly relax and embrace each day to the fullest.

Their search led them to visit a well-established retirement home in the area, which they liked, but they knew they would eventually need more support. That’s when they found Trent Bridge Care Home—and from the moment they stepped through the doors, they felt something special. The warm, welcoming atmosphere, the vibrant energy, and the sense of community made it clear: this was their Forever Home.

In the months leading up to their move, Kath and David became part of the Trent Bridge family, joining in Friday coffee mornings, events, and activities while waiting for their family home to sell. These visits allowed them to build friendships with both residents and staff, making the transition feel effortless. Their excitement was undeniable! They personally picked out their rooms, returning often with their trusty tape measure to plan every detail—where their cherished furniture would go, how their pictures would be arranged (Kath even labeled the walls with post-it notes!), and how they would make their new space truly theirs.

On March 6th, their journey came full circle as they officially moved into Trent Bridge Care Home. Now, they enjoy strolling through West Bridgford, visiting local shops, relaxing with a coffee in the sunshine, and even planning a special dinner at The Giggling Squid, one of their favorite restaurants.

Having traveled the world together, especially through their shared love of cruises, Kath and David have found a newfound sense of freedom and joy. Kath describes feeling as if a weight has been lifted, giving her a renewed zest for life, while David likens Trent Bridge to being on a luxury cruise ship—complete with fabulous food, engaging activities, and wonderful company. But the best part? He never has to disembark—because he is already home.

At Trent Bridge Care Home, we’re honored to be part of their story, helping them embrace this new adventure with comfort, care, and community.

Welcome home, Kath & David!
