Christmas starts at Stapehill care home

The Christmas lights were switched on at Hyacinth House in Stapehill at a festive afternoon enjoyed by residents, their families and friends.

Entertainment was provided by local musician and singer Charlotte Geary, who sung a selection of Christmas favourites. This was followed by a carol sing-a-long with St Michael’s Church Choir.

Guests were treated to mulled wine and mince pies prepared by the home’s hospitality team.

Richard Carpenter, general manager at The Libertine, Westbourne, donated a Christmas tree.

Hyacinth House general manager Kamila Gagala said: “It was a wonderful afternoon bringing the community together and marking the start of the festive season. We have so many exciting activities and events planned for our residents and the community this season. This year, we are once again hosting ‘Don’t Dine Alone at Christmas’, welcoming any older people in our community who may otherwise face the holiday alone. Thank you to everyone who helped make this event so special and to all who joined us for this memorable day.”
