Staff, residents and guests commemorated this special occasion with a visit from Deputy Mayor of Guildford Jane Tyson, a performance from ‘So Sinatra’ and a ceremony of also adding a time capsule of personal notes from their own residents of the home.

Silverbirch House has built up excellent reputations within its local communities. The home regularly holds events and activities for its residents and surrounding neighbours. The home was opened 2 years ago and has since gained links with the local community.

For the past 2 years, we have provided a caring home for our residents as well as the best possible environment for our staff. Today not only enables us to celebrate their hard work, but it's also an opportunity to thank the residents, their relatives and friends who have made Silverbirch House such a loving home.”
