Peterborough care home lays on Valentine’s Day celebration for residents

Love was in the air at Longueville Court Care Home in Orton Longueville as staff filled the home with heart shaped decorations and gifted fellow staff members and residents home-made sweets, cakes and treats.

A romantic lunch, which came with flowers, champagne and cupcakes, was also set up for the home’s two married couples, Marion and Len and Ruby and Norman.

They 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. We enjoyed spending the romantic day together, it was a total surprise. The deco, champagne and flowers we’re overwhelming.”

General Manager, Margery Dino added: “It’s been a very different Valentine’s Day but we’ve all had a lovely day nonetheless.

“Lots of our residents were able to see their loved ones either using our visiting suite or on a video call. We’ve had a whole range of treats and Valentine’s themed fun and we have enjoyed every moment of it!”

Longueville Court run by Barchester Healthcare, one of the UK’s largest care providers, and is currently still welcoming residents into their homes, with very clear protocols that must be met including a transition period into our home to help keep everyone safe.
