Fun in the sun for care home residents
Bayleaf Care Home in Huntingdon made the most of the warm spring sunshine with an impromptu morning spent in the gardens of the home.
Residents were invited to pull up a chair and enjoy the unmistakeable feeling of sunshine on their faces whilst the staff at the home provided drinks and refreshments. Some of the residents also helped head gardener, Mark Olivier, adding some colour to the gardens with an array of flowers and potted plants.
Joyce Walters, a resident at the home said “I’ve always loved the outdoors so it has been very nice to be able to sit outside in the sunshine with my friends. The snacks were absolutely delicious and I really enjoyed seeing the different plants and flowers – it was a perfect morning.”
Katie Wilkinson, General Manager at the home, said: “The warm weather is a great excuse for us to get outside in the sunshine and enjoy a morning relaxing in our beautiful gardens. It is lovely to be able to make the most of the spring sunshine.”
