Karuna Manor Care Home Hosts Health Awareness Evening in Collaboration with The Clementine Churchill Hospital

Karuna Manor Care Home recently hosted a truly enriching and educational evening in collaboration with The Clementine Churchill Hospital, part of Circle Health Group.

The special event brought together nearly 25 guests, including residents, families, and members of the wider community, for an inspiring health awareness session focused on mobility, memory, and wellbeing in later life.

The event highlighted the importance of community partnerships in promoting healthy, independent living for older adults. Attendees were treated to two expert-led presentations delivered by distinguished medical professionals from The Clementine Churchill Hospital.

Miss Samantha Tross, Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon, delivered an engaging and informative talk titled “Easing Pain and Improving Movement: Modern Approaches to Hip and Knee Care.” Miss Tross shared her wealth of knowledge on advanced treatments and early interventions designed to preserve mobility and independence in older adults. Her insights underscored how modern orthopaedic care continues to transform quality of life for people living with joint-related conditions.

Following this, Dr Shane Roche, Consultant Physician and Specialist in Geriatric Medicine, presented an enlightening session on “Understanding Memory Clinics: Expert Guidance on Dementia Assessment and Care.” Dr Roche’s talk focused on the importance of early diagnosis, comprehensive assessment, and the value of person-centred approaches in dementia care. His compassionate perspective provided reassurance and practical guidance to both families and care professionals alike.

Karuna Manor was especially honoured to welcome The Mayor of Harrow, Councillor Anjana Patel, Mayor of the London Borough of Harrow, who graced the occasion with her presence. In her address, the Mayor praised the event as a shining example of how healthcare providers, local authorities, and care homes can work hand-in-hand to support the wellbeing of the elderly in the community. Her words of encouragement reinforced the vital role of collaboration and community engagement in promoting holistic care.

The evening was filled with insightful discussions, thoughtful questions, and heartfelt appreciation from all who attended. Guests praised the opportunity to learn directly from healthcare experts while connecting with others in a warm, welcoming environment. For many, the event served as a reminder of the power of knowledge-sharing and partnership in improving health outcomes and enriching lives.

“At Karuna Manor, we believe that true care goes beyond our walls—it’s about creating meaningful partnerships that benefit our residents and the wider community,” said Payal Chhabra, Home Manager at Karuna Manor Care Home. “We are deeply grateful to The Clementine Churchill Hospital team, Miss Samantha Tross, and Dr Shane Roche for their time, expertise, and dedication to improving wellbeing in later life.”
