Residents and colleagues at Highgate Care Home in Uddingston, Glasgow, celebrated Pancake Day with a joyful afternoon of flipping, stacking and tasting delicious pancakes.
The celebration saw residents and staff take it in turns to flip pancakes, filling the room with laughter and friendly competition as everyone tried their hand at the traditional Shrove Tuesday activity.
After the flipping fun, residents were invited to create their own bespoke pancake stacks, choosing from a wide range of toppings including a selection of sauces, fruit, marshmallows, whipped cream and chocolate chips. The creative combinations resulted in some truly marvellous pancake creations, which residents then enjoyed together.
The event provided a fun and engaging way for residents to socialise, reminisce and enjoy a favourite British tradition. Activities like this are part of Highgate Care Home’s commitment to promoting wellbeing, independence and meaningful experiences for residents.
Laura Turnbull, Home Manager at Highgate Care Home said:
“It was wonderful to see everyone getting involved, laughing and enjoying the day. Pancake Day is a simple tradition, but it brings people together and creates special moments for our residents.”
