Valentine’s Day is traditionally a day to celebrate love and connection, and our home embraced the spirit of the occasion creating heart-warming and inclusive celebration for all residents.
Special Valentine’s Day meals were prepared by the hospitality teams, with a cake, themed dishes, and communal dining experiences creating an atmosphere of joy and togetherness.
Our residents enjoyed lattes and cappuccinos. There’s nothing like the fresh smell of coffee to brighten your day, going forward at Thornfield Care Home. We will be making regular trips out in the new year. There’s nothing like it when seeing our residents smiling and having fun.
It’s a simple human needs to feel valued and appreciated.

Incorporating musical activities into our care homes has had a wide range of benefits.
For individuals living with dementia, musical care home activities take on an extra significance. Scientific studies have found that listening to music can provide great stimulation for the brain, not only producing a strong, positive emotional response but also reducing anxiety and stress.
What’s more, it’s been found that music can inspire reminiscence, communication, and improved cognitive skills for those with dementia.
Music facilitates non-verbal expression and can often bridge the communication gap where words might fail.
