Blossoming Connections: How care home keeps couples together
'The highlight of the afternoon activities was seeing one of the home's newest resident Fred, who create a stunning arrangement to present to his wife, Margaret'
Residents at Brampton View Care Home in Northampton enjoyed a creative session making vibrant artificial flower displays for their individual rooms. The homes activities at team organised the life enriching events, focusing on life enrichment and maintaining the social interactions that matter most.
The highlight of the afternoon activities was seeing one of the home's newest resident Fred, who create a stunning arrangement to present to his wife, Margaret. Fred had never made flower arrangements before, of which he enjoyed participating in. While the couple are both residents of Brampton View Care Home, they live in different communities within the home to ensure they both receive the specific care they need, and are supported to spend quality time together through shared activities.
"I really enjoyed this activity," Fred shared, but it was the delight on Margaret’s face that truly showed the impact of the gesture when Fred presented this to her on the memory lane community.
