Local care home celebrates International Nurses Day with tributes and treats

Hampton Grove Care Home in Peterborough pulled out all the stops to celebrate International Nurses Day, honouring the dedication, strength, and compassion of nursing staff who make a difference every single day.

The celebrations highlighted not only the home's nursing team, but also community nurses, student nurses awaiting their official PIN numbers who visit the home almost daily, and residents living at Hampton Grove who once dedicated their own lives to the nursing profession. 

The day was filled with gratitude, for the care, comfort, reassurance, and dignity that nurses provide to residents, families, and colleagues alike. To show their appreciation, residents created handmade bespoke gift bags as a small token of thanks for the team. The afternoon was topped off with beautiful, homemade cupcakes from local baker Pat E Cakes, which were thoroughly enjoyed by residents and staff. 

General Manager, Stefan Lupu said "International Nurses Day allows us to recognise the incredible kindness and dedication our nurses show every single day. We are deeply grateful for everything they do, and it was wonderful to see our residents get involved in making the day so special. We also want to say a huge thank you to Pat E Cakes for the delicious cupcakes that made our celebration complete."
