CARERS across Colten Care’s 21 homes have been showered with appreciation – and sweet treats – during Carers Week.
Carers Week, which ran from June 6 to 12 this year, is an annual awareness campaign to celebrate and recognise the vital contribution made by the UK’s 6.5 million carers.
At Colten Care, the week featured daily treats for colleagues and residents such as homemade cakes, ice lollies and doughnuts.
Carers were also visited by an ice cream van at Bourne View care home in Poole.
At the operator’s Avon Cliff in Bournemouth, carers and residents enjoyed a tea party together.
And at Woodpeckers in Brockenhurst, in the New Forest, residents presented carers with their own homemade muffins and cupcakes and also crafted gift boxes which they filled with homemade fudge gifts.
