A harvest festival held at HC-One’s Willow Brook 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.
Willow Brook welcomed members of the local community to mark the start of the autumn season on Friday 5th October and hosted a range of harvest themed activities including welcoming local childrens group Rainbow Stripes in to sing songs and play games.
The local church also attended, leading a special harvest service.
Marie Duke Parker the home`s manager said:
"It's so nice to see all of our Residents so happy!
Combining Silver Sunday and Harvest festival gave Residents the opportunity to get to know people in the community and to build relationships with each other."
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.
