Staff and residents at Moors Manor care home celebrated the day of love by creating handmade cards for residents to give to their family members and enjoyed an entertainer who performed to the residents with a selection of songs with a love theme.

Gemma Chalkley, general manager, said: “We’ve all had a lovely day decorating the home and making gifts for each other and for our loved ones. Lots of our residents were able to see their loved ones either in person or via video call. We’ve had a whole range of treats and Valentine’s themed fun and we have enjoyed every moment of it.”

Penny, a resident at Moors Manor Care Home said: “It has been a lovely day. It was wonderful to see everyone go to so much effort to get involved with the day’s festivities. I really liked seeing the home all decorated for Valentine’s Day and listening to the entertainer that we had come in.”

Gemma added: “Our varied life enrichment programme keeps residents active, and provides a daily choice of engaging physical, mental and spiritual activities tailored to residents’ interests and abilities.”
