Having fun at the Waitrose Deli Counter
The team at Avonbourne Care Centre are passionate about supporting our residents in being as independent as possible. One of our residents, Vera, loves to shop for bits and bobs in Waitrose and on one of her recent weekly trips she had a particularly good experience.
She was accompanied on her shopping trip by our General Manager, who drove her to Waitrose in Salisbury. After picking up a few bits, she fancied some freshly cooked chicken from the Deli counter. The person serving her took extra special care to make sure she had exactly what she wanted; “a bit of the breast from that one, and a bit of the leg from the other one” made both of them giggle and share a lovely experience. Vera then spent the whole journey home telling Simon all about the ‘lovely man’.
Kindness takes many forms and this simple exchange helped create a memory, and a great story to share.  Thank you to Waitrose Salisbury for making her day and for your excellent customer service.
