Hi Everyone ,
I must say I am still talking about the success of our last Mallow Open Coffee meet up which was held in Bridhaven Nursing home on the 5th of July , A huge thanks to Claire & Paul Rochford and to Trish O Sullivan and all the other staff and residents of this beautiful nursing home for your welcome and hospitality to us and visiting members of Mallow Open Coffee .
The morning started in the beautiful day room of Bridhaven where we enjoyed delicious scones , cakes , teas and coffee as members and residents wandered in and started to mingle with each other which was a joy to watch , after much chit chat about business and the economy both today and in days gone by , this was followed by a raffle for some wonderful prizes sponsored by our members , a huge thank you to Niamh Quinlan of Travel Counsellors a holiday voucher , Ivan O Donoghue of Spiralli Business Solutions for their voucher for a training session with them , Crystal Computers who gave a voucher for training , and Sharon Cregg of Parkwest Flowers Mallow who donated a gorgeous arrangement of flowers to Bridhaven on the morning.
We then were taken on a tour of this wonderful facility and I must say we were all highly impressed with the level of care and the surrounds in which the residents can enjoy their twilight years , we were even introduced to the resident pet , a beautiful springer spaniel ,whose name I now cannot remember !.
We look forward to visiting Bridhaven again and I would encourage everyone to pay this wonderful home a visit and chat with the residents and you will see for yourself why we were so impressed.
Again a huge thank you to Claire , Paul , Trish and all the staff for their warm welcome it was a very heart warming experience.
