Emergency Procedures Safety Information Talk
All residents have recently received a revised “Fire Orders” Information form. As a worthwhile follow up to this information, a talk has been arranged for Hester residents at 10.30am on Wednesday 1 April, in the main lounge area. We strongly urge all residents to attend this very important talk.

As purely a precautionary measure, given the current concern about COVID-19, antibacterial hand rub is available at the following locations at Hester Canterbury:
-By the sink in the kitchen,
-By the sink in the café area,
-At the reception desk.
Frozen Meals
The kitchen staff under our Head Chef’s expert guidance are currently creating some very tempting new menus and recipes. Until the new menus and selections are in use there will not be frozen meals available from the Hester kitchen freezer.
We do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, however we are sure the new selection of meals will be worth the wait.
