HC-One care homes across Britain have marked the annual Global Intergenerational Week campaign.
At Brandon House Care Home in Coventry, Creative Mojo who are an arts and crafts organisation and Lady Bird Pre-school visited the home to join residents in making a poster in honour of Jamaican Reggae music artist, Bob Marley.
At Meadow Bank Care Home in Preston, wellbeing coordinator Dawn Ward’s grandson Sebastian Taylor-Ward, aged 16 months, visited the home to bring a smile to residents’ faces.
Residents enjoyed meeting Sebastian, giving him lots of cuddles and chatting to him. Resident Edna Hall, aged 86 years old, enjoyed a game of pass the balloon with Sebastian which kept both parties entertained.
At Newlands Care Home in Stockport, Cheshire, the home welcomed The Heaton’s at St. Paul’s Nursery who take care and teach young children aged between three and four.
The children and residents took part in an arts and crafts session which involved making salt dough dragons and monsters.
Resident Norma Richardson was also pleasantly surprised as amongst the children who visited was her great granddaughter Minnie Richardson, who regularly visits the home to see Norma.
