Residents at HC-One’s The Hornchurch care home in London, which offers, residential, nursing and residential and nursing memory care, celebrated Easter weekend with lots of food, one to one activities and a fancy dress party.

On Holy Saturday the wellbeing team completed one to one activities in Residents rooms involving knitting, nail painting, puzzle making and reminiscing.
"I have really enjoyed the whole Easter weekend and enjoyed the company of staff who completed activities with me,” said one Hornchurch Resident.

The Hornchurch Home Manager, Tania Banner said: “I am very pleased with all of the effort that my staff have put in over the Easter weekend to ensure it was special for Residents."
“As well as indoor one to one activity, Residents were also taken into our garden, which has recently been redecorated, to enjoy the nice weather.”
