Our homes have been buzzing as residents and staff celebrated Christmas in genuinely memorable ways.
At Fleet Hall Care Home in Fleet, residents and visitors were enchanted by a visit from two beautiful reindeer, Iceberg and Glacier. Everyone had the opportunity to feed these majestic creatures and learn fascinating facts from their owner, Mel. The day was wonderful and residents are already asking when the furry duo will be visiting again!
Hempstalls Hall Care Home in Newcastle-under-Lyme transformed their Vintage Tearoom into a Santa’s Grotto, offering a cosy, festive spot for spiced tea and Christmas cake. Michael and Dilys became Santa and his Elf, delivering presents to children and staff and spreading joy at the Christmas Fayre, which raised £427.72 for Swanbank Church’s holiday meals for those in need.
Waterhouse Manor Care Home in Peterborough saw a wonder-filled week of activities, from wreath making and cider tasting to biscuit decorating and dancing with Mrs Claus.
At Ashurst Mews Care Home in Northampton, their Christmas party was a hit. The Cantare Singers serenaded everyone, and a silent disco rounded off the day. Residents embraced the festivities with silly hats and plenty of holiday cheer.
At Cliftonville Care Home, also in Northampton, 101-year-old Eric became Santa Claus, delivering gifts to residents on Christmas Day, making his mark as the home’s Father Christmas this year. His remarkable life story added an extra layer of magic to the celebrations.
Scholars Mews Care Home in Stratford-upon-Avon and Adelaide Care Home in Bexleyheath also embraced the Christmas spirit, from creative card-making to festive outings, with residents enjoying everything from gingerbread house crafting to local Christmas lights.
These wonderful moments made the holiday season so special for everyone involved.
