RESIDENTS at a Hook care home have won a company-wide Christmas card competition thanks to their heart-warming design incorporating elements of the historic manor in which they live.
While gathering around one of the inglenook fireplaces at Old Raven House to discuss their entry into the Healthcare Management Solutions annual Christmas card competition, residents talked of their festive memories and chose symbols representing those special moments.
After settling on the symbols, they placed them across a photo of the wide fireplace around which they were sitting; combining their Christmas memories with the warmth of an Old Raven hearth.
The design was chosen from more than 50 entries from other homes across the UK operated by Healthcare Management Solutions.
Old Raven House is a manor house dating back to the 1500s and served as a country residence and coaching inn during its lifetime. It features several homely features including inglenook fireplaces, oak beams and leaded windows, as well as extensively planted grounds which provide blooms throughout the summer.
