Residents at Edensor, the Diagrama Foundation Care Centre in Clacton-on-Sea enjoyed a wonderful Valentine’s Day celebration filled with creativity, kindness and community spirit.
The day included knitting handmade hearts to give to visitors as thoughtful Valentine’s gifts, along with a range of arts and crafts activities. Residents also created beautiful fresh red rose arrangements, which added a splash of colour and romance to the occasion.
The celebrations concluded with a special Valentine’s tea, complete with sweet treats and a lively sing-along with Tracy a regular visitor to the Care Home. Tracy is very popular and brought smiles to everyone involved.
Ewa Ruskowiak, Care Coordinator at Edensor Care Home said: “Celebrating special occasions together is so important to us at Edensor. Our residents love being involved in choosing the decorations and activities and it’s always heartwarming to see their ideas come to life. Valentine’s Day gave us a lovely opportunity to share kindness with our visitors, and the smiles on their faces made all the effort truly worthwhile.”
It was a heartwarming day enjoyed by residents, staff and visitors alike, highlighting the strong sense of community nursing and dementia care home.
