A harvest festival held at HC-One’s Lauren Court Care Home helped Residents to meet new people, make new friends and have meaningful moments in the company of others.
The event was also in support of Silver Sunday, which helps combat loneliness within the community and helps to increase happiness and wellbeing.
Lauren Court welcomed members of the local community to mark the start of the autumn season on the week commencing the 1st of October and hosted a range of harvest themed activities including welcoming local churches for a service and quiz, making autumnal wreathes, bread making, and an owl demonstration.
Residents enjoyed the vast array of activities on offer.
Home Colleague, Rebecca Jackson said:
“It’s been a really lovely week with the Residents engaging in many different types of activities. It’s been amazing to see some new faces and see Residents trying new things as well.”
Silver Sunday celebrates older people and helps to combat loneliness, while Harvest Festival celebrates food that’s grown and produced on England’s home soil.
