Residents from Oakview Lodge Care & Nursing Home were warmly welcomed at their sister home Carpenders Park Care Home in Watford, where they enjoyed an afternoon filled with activities and a relaxing lunch in the sunshine.
Reflecting on the day, Sharon Guntrip, Customer Relations Manager, shared, "We had a wonderful time with the residents from Oakview Lodge who joined us from Welwyn Garden City. It was a great opportunity for our residents at Carpenders Park to make new friends and socialise. People could choose to make bird feeders, blend fruit smoothies, and engaged in a fun quiz led by Wellbeing Coordinator Miheala. Our resident Jean particularly enjoyed the quiz, impressively answering 99% of the questions and getting them correct."
Resident Bruce thoroughly enjoyed making bird feeders, commenting, “They look delightful; I hope the birds will enjoy them."
The residents from Oakview Lodge delighted in the quality of food presented to them by the staff team at Carpenders Park: "Our lunch was exceptional. It was refreshing and beautifully presented," they commented.
Rachel Davies, Wellbeing Coordinator at Oakview Lodge, noted the positive impact of the visit for their residents, including Micheal who particularly enjoyed exploring the garden at Carpenders Park Care Home. "It was heartwarming to see residents bonding over shared interests, reminiscing about hobbies, past pets, and families," she added.
Claire Masterson, Home Manager at Carpenders Park, shared her happiness with the visit, saying, "It was a joy spending time together. We're already looking forward to our return visit to Oakview Lodge! Thank you for joining us this afternoon; our residents truly loved making new friends and participating in today's activities."
