Residents from HC-One’s Abermill Care Home in Abertridwr, Caerphilly, were treated to a heartwarming day of intergenerational joy on Wednesday, May 21, during a special visit to Nant Y Parc Primary School.
The day featured a cookery session where residents and children came together to prepare and enjoy a traditional Welsh Cawl. Laughter and conversation filled the room as generations bonded over the beloved national dish.
The visit also included a creative arts and crafts session, allowing residents and pupils to collaborate on colourful projects and build meaningful connections. The event was further enriched by the involvement of parents by creating a warm and inclusive atmosphere that celebrated community spirit.
The staff and children of Nant Y Parc Primary School, led by Miss Winters, went above and beyond to ensure the residents felt welcome and at home.
Christine Tipper, HC-One Wales’s Abermill Care Home Manager, said:
“The relationships between the children and our residents are truly special – it brings a lump to my throat every time I witness their interactions.
“Both our residents and the children take so much joy from seeing each other. These moments are so important, and we’re incredibly grateful for them.
“We’d like to extend a massive thank you to Miss Winters and all the wonderful staff and pupils for always making us feel so valued and included.”
