Spreading Festive Cheer To Residents - Old Shenfield Place

‘Tis the season to be jolly and at Old Shenfield Place, we are spreading the festive cheer like never before!

Christmas is a magical time of year, and we are pulling out all the stops to make it extra special for our residents and staff.

Picture this: twinkling lights, sparkling decorations, and the sweet sound of Christmas carols filling the air.

THE BUILD UP TO CHRISTMAS AT OLD SHENFIELD PLACE

On Thursday 14th December, we are thrilled to welcome the talented St Mary’s C of E school children to serenade our residents with their angelic voices. Their beautiful versions of classic Christmas carols will warm the hearts of our residents and bring a smile to all.

But that’s not all! On Tuesday 19th December at 11am, we have a real treat in store for our residents. Get ready to laugh, cheer, and maybe even boo at our Jack and Beanstalk Panto! This lively and entertaining performance will transport our residents back to their childhood.

One resident at Old Shenfield Place expressed how going to a Pantomime was a tradition she would do with her children every Boxing Day, and she misses shouting “ooh no you don’t” as she would join in the fun and laughter. Having the pantomime come to Old Shenfield Place is one of the ways our home likes to adhere to traditions and spark memories for our residents.

We believe that every resident deserves a personalised gift that shows just how much they are loved and cherished. That’s why we have carefully selected individual presents for each resident. From personalised cozy blankets to delightful diffusers and vibrant plants to heavenly scented gifts. We have thought of everything to make this Christmas truly special for each and every one of our residents.

A CHRISTMAS TO REMEMBER FOR ALL

In a recent residents’ meeting, resident Pat said she would like Father Christmas to come to the home, stating “he is not just for children.” We love granting wishes at Old Shenfield Place, so we have organised for Santa to deliver our residents’ gifts on Christmas day.

And the festivities don’t stop there! We are delighted to invite family members to join us for a scrumptious Christmas Day lunch. For just £15 per person, our residents’ loved ones can indulge in a mouthwatering feast and share in the joy of the season with their family and friends. It’s a wonderful opportunity to create precious memories and celebrate the true meaning of Christmas together.

SPREADING CHRISTMAS CHEER

Step inside our care home, and you’ll be greeted by the warm glow of two beautiful artificial trees and one real Christmas tree, which was requested by our residents in a recent meeting and generously donated by our trusted supplier, Barleylands Fruit and Veg.

The twinkling lights and colourful decorations create a magical ambiance that transports our residents to a winter wonderland. And outside, we have a festive banner displaying a picture of our residents and staff – spreading the message of love and joy to the entire community.

At Old Shenfield Place, Christmas is a time of love, togetherness, and celebration. Our dedicated staff work tirelessly to ensure that every resident feels cherished and included in the festivities.

The joy and happiness that fills the air is truly infectious, making our care home the perfect place to spend the holiday season.

Come and join us as we embrace the magic of Christmas and create memories that will last a lifetime.
