Local care home hosts fashion show
There was laughter and elegance in equal measure at Bayleaf Care Home in Huntingdon where the residents and their guests held a Grand National themed fashion show.
The residents took to the catwalk dressed to the nines, showcasing beautiful fascinators that added a wonderful splash of colour to the day. This was followed by entertainment from home favourite, Charlie Chaplin who had residents, visitors and staff singing along together and dancing to the music.
To round off the perfect afternoon, the Bayleaf Care Home kitchen team provided a delicious selection of cheeses served with fresh fruits and crackers.
Katie Wilkinson, General Manager of Bayleaf Care Home said “We do our best to provide a wide range of activities and entertainment at Bayleaf as part of the lifestyle enrichment programme for residents, and this one was our most enjoyable afternoons! Living in a care home doesn’t put a stop to celebrating life, and our engaging activities are designed to be enjoyed by all who want to join in.”
Freda Smith said “I haven’t been to a fashion show in 20 years! It brought back good memories.”
