Care home residents visit a sunny Peterborough Cathedral
“It has been a fantastic day and we’ve all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.”
Staff and residents from Barchester’s Bayleaf Care Home, in Huntingdon had a fantastic time visiting the historic Cathedral in nearby Peterborough where they all enjoyed exploring hundreds of years of history.
The Cathedral is one of the finest Norman cathedrals in Europe. Founded as a monastic community in 654 AD, it became one of the most significant medieval abbeys in the country, the burial place of two queens and the scene of Civil War upheavals.
Margaret Hatch, resident at Bayleaf Care Home said: “We have all had the most wonderful time exploring the cathedral. It is so lovely to be able to visit places like this and soak up the atmosphere. It is such a grand building that you could almost get lost in it.”
General Manager, Katie Wilkinson said: “We absolutely love being able to take our residents out and it makes us so happy to be able to access venues like this. It has been a fantastic day and we’ve all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.”
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.
