LOVE was certainly in the air at one Wokingham care home earlier this month.
Residents at Alexandra Grange Care Home, in Oaklands Drive, were treated to wooden roses by staff on Valentine’s Day to show them how much they care about them.
The residents were also treated to lunch at The Wee Waif in Charvil.
Lifestyle’s leader at Alexandra Grange, Adriana Fernandes-Bowyer said: “We had great fun presenting our residents with roses. It was nice to remind them that even though they have a loving family that we are their family too and are there for them.”
“We think our residents really appreciated the gesture and the roses will make a nice keepsake and reminder of the activity.”
Avnish Goyal, managing director of Hallmark Care Homes, which owns Alexandra Grange and initiated the idea said: “The aim of this activity is to make our residents feel special this Valentine’s Day, and let them know we are there for them as we care for them, and value our relationship with them.
“Many of our residents haven’t received a rose in years, while others have never received a rose in their lifetime. We hope giving them a rose this Valentine’s weekend will bring a smile to their face and show them how much we care.”
