Residents and the team at Heanton Nursing Home celebrated Afternoon Tea Week in style with an enchanting English Garden Themed party. The event celebrated the British tradition while creating a social gathering throughout the home.
The day began with a planned activity for residents, affectionately known as family members of flower arranging which offered a multi-sensory experience which can improve motor skills (the gentle movement of moving hands and fingers) encouraging mobility for those who are less mobile.
The arrangements were then used to decorate their living room at the Barnstaple Nursing Home, perfectly matching the Garden Party theme. The space was further brightened up with balloons and favour bags to get everyone in the celebratory spirit! In the afternoon, thanks to the catering team, an array of beautifully decorated handmade cakes, biscuits, sandwiches (and of course tea!) were displayed for all to enjoy. Trays were prepared and taken up to the rooms of the less mobile family members – just one example of the inclusive and thoughtful care the team at the Barnstaple Care Home provide.
Lesley Heale, a Care Assistant at Heanton Nursing Home, shared, ‘just the little extras like the pretty plates and cardboard teapots made it so special for us all.’ She added, ‘and of course a little favour bag with a selection of prepacked biscuits and various sweets for family members to enjoy in their own time. Just WOW.!
The CQC-rated OUTSTANDING Nursing Home supports family members on a complex journey and is dedicated to supporting the continued well-being by honouring the individual values, beliefs, and identities of people living there. Celebrating Afternoon Tea week with a party for all to be involved in, is a prime example of this dedication.
