This month at
April Park in Eckington, which offers residential care, a very popular day has been well received by Residents.
National Chocolate Day on the 28th of October is quite a popular event at April Park. Wellbeing staff had turned it into a chocolate tasting day as well for Residents to enjoy a range of different chocolates. This included some lactose and gluten free options so everybody could join in.
There was a nice range of different chocolates available to choose from, with flavours such as chilli, sea salt, and mint, with white and dark options also on offer. Connie, a Resident at April Park said she wasn’t a massive fan of the chilli chocolate and enjoyed the more traditional options, Brenda, another Resident said, “I was very happy with the selections because there was a lactose chocolate one” whereas another Resident, Jenny, enjoyed the full range of having different flavours to choose from.
Sharna, the Wellbeing Coordinator commented, “It was lovely to see the Residents enjoying a tasty treat, chocolate always puts a smile on everyone’s face”.
