Saturday 5th July was a memorable and heartfelt day at Apsley House as we celebrated the official opening of Ellie’s Place – a beautiful garden arbour kindly gifted to us by the family of our much-loved resident, Ellie.  Ellie sadly passed away earlier this year, and the day marked what would have been her 100th birthday.  Her family chose to celebrate her life here at our nursing home, and honoured her memory surrounded by residents and staff.  We were truly touched by their generosity and warmth on this incredibly special day.

As a dedicated care home, Apsley House fosters a supportive and heartfelt environment where community and compassion thrive.  Ellie was a cherished member of our community, and we were honoured to welcome her family to celebrate her memory with us.  The arbour, now affectionately known as Ellie’s Place, will serve as a lasting memorial, providing a tranquil spot where residents and visitors can relax in the peaceful surroundings of our garden.

Moments like these highlight the importance of bringing families and our community together at our elderly care home in Bognor Regis.  It was an honour to support Ellie’s family and be a part of this special occasion, celebrating her life in such a heartfelt way.  Ellie’s memory will live on through the memories, as well as the comfort and joy of this beautiful space created in her name.

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Ellie’s family for their generous donation and for sharing such a special occasion with us.  Apsley House stands not just as a nursing home but also a close-knit community built on care and connection.  Ellie’s Place will be a peaceful haven, and a loving reminder of a truly special woman.
