Happy New Year 2023

The holiday season is always a busy and extra special time in our homes as residents and staff prepare for the coming celebrations. This year we had our traditional countdown to Christmas Day with our special online advent calendar and our company wide Christmas tree decoration competition. But what makes it really special is what goes on within our homes during the festive period.

The seasonal decorations that are put up within the homes, sometimes made by residents and staff, are always magnificent and the celebrations on the day, well, it’s all just so incredibly “Christmassy”. The wonderful Christmas meals that are prepared and then served by our staff are exactly what we’ve all come to expect from Christmas day over the years; delicious and plentiful.

New Year’s eve was also a time to celebrate, with parties, entertainers, and good food and drink all being enjoyed across our homes. We wish you all a very happy 2023 and will leave you with this poem read out by Horace, a resident at Belmont View, our care home in Hoddesdon on their Facebook Social Media channel:

“Here comes a brand new year,
Lots of new things to explore,
A clean, blank slate to write on,
Fun happenings galore.

To you we wish the best of things,
All the blessings a new year brings.”
