Residents from local care home enjoy a day at the seaside

Residents from Bayleaf Care Home in Huntingdon have been making the most of the glorious summer with a special day-trip to the seaside.

Residents from the home were accompanied by staff as they boarded the home’s minibus and set off for Hunstanton armed with bucket and spade, plenty of sun cream and a home-made picnic ready for a day of fun, laughter and adventures.

One resident commented; “I have had an amazing day. I have always loved a day at the seaside and there is something about the sea air that always puts a smile on my face!”

General Manager, Katie Wilkinson said: “Our residents and staff had a wonderful time at the seaside! 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 was one of our favourites!”
