Heanton Nursing Home
brought a feel-good summer event for its residents (fondly referred to as
family members) and their relatives with a summer BBQ. The event, hosted in the
home’s beautiful garden, was a great success, with many relatives taking time off
work to be there.
The
BBQ served up some seriously tasty, locally sourced meats thanks to Reeds
Butchers in Braunton, fresh, flavourful, and a real hit! This wasn’t just a one-off either,
locally sourced meats have been added to the main menu! It’s a recent change
the home is very excited about! The kitchen team love working with such great
quality ingredients, and it’s already making a difference at mealtimes. There
was also a great selection of 0% alcohol drinks on offer, which went down
really well with everyone there. Alongside plenty of lawn games for everyone to enjoy.
The home recognises
the importance of meaningful time with loved ones, and providing opportunities
for families to enjoy the outdoors together is always met with warmth. It’s a
simple but meaningful way to support people’s wellbeing and help maintain
strong family connections.
The Home Manager Abigail Denford
said “It was such a lovely afternoon. Seeing families enjoying time
together, sharing food, and having a few laughs in the garden.
It reminded me just how important the simple, everyday things are, like
having a BBQ on a sunny day. If you were in your own home and the sun was
shining, you’d probably do exactly that. So why shouldn’t we do it here, too?
This is our home, our family."
The Heanton team put so much care and heart into bringing the event to life, it’s clear this place means more to them than just a job.
