Poulton-le-Fylde care home marks National Chocolate and Caramel DayThe catering team at Bankhouse care home, in Lancashire, which offers residential, residential dementia, nursing and nursing dementia care, did an excellent job providing treats to celebrate National Chocolate and Caramel Day. 

There was chocolate covered cupcakes, chocolate bars, sweets and hot chocolate drinks. Everyone was happy to taste the treats.

The Bankhouse Inn was also open for those who chose to have a beer instead. Some of the gentleman sat having a chat and listening to the music; they also had a game of ‘Name that tune’. Residents Brian said ‘I know the tune but I can`t think of the title. This is the best rest home having a little bar like this in it!”

The hot chocolate with marshmallows, cream and topped with chocolate shavings was certainly the highlight of the day for many. 

Janet Barnes, Care Home Manager, remarked, “It was just like a gentleman’s day in the Bankhouse Inn this afternoon. The gents were relaxed and happy in each other’s’ company.”
