Radfield Home Care Chester have been announced as one of the main sponsors for the Countess of Chester Hospital ‘house’ charity for 2018.

They are also the headline sponsor for the Countess Challenge event to raise funds to support the Memory Lane project - Care of the Elderly.

The date is still to be confirmed for early 2018 but is sure to be fun for everyone. It will involve teams of five to compete in a ‘knockout’ challenge, testing the teams on both their mental and physical abilities including stomp buckets, toxic drop, total wipeout, segway race, ice bucket challenge, rollerball and football darts, to name but a few.

The teams will be made up of friends, family or work colleagues, each required to raise a minimum of £500 sponsorship to include the £15 registration fee.

The project is focused on the enhancement of the environment and facilities on wards 50 and 51 at the hospital, specialising in care for the elderly.

Improvements and developments to the wards and the surrounding spaces will include an interactive corridor, multi-functional day room, improved lighting and décor on main ward, privacy pods, and secure sensory garden.

These changes will provide patients with the highest quality of care, assist in their privacy and dignity at all times, whilst in the care of the Countess of Chester Hospital.
