Love is in the air: Exeter care home residents celebrate Valentine's Day

Cumberland Grange care home, in Exeter, was filled with red roses, cupcakes and music in celebration of St Valentine’s Day.  

Staff and residents celebrated the day of love by creating heart-shaped decorations to decorate the home with. They had special messages on them showing ‘what love means to me’ which was heart-warming to read and understand how everyone feels and see’s love differently. Residents also enjoyed a wonderful sing-a-long session with Sound Easy, who came in to sing. Head Chef John also made some scrumptious Valentines inspired cupcakes for residents to enjoy – after all, all that singing works up an appetite!

General Manager, Michele, said: “We’ve all had a lovely day decorating the home and talking about love. We’ve had a whole range of treats and Valentine’s themed fun and we have enjoyed every moment of it!

"Our varied life enrichment programme keeps residents active, and provides a daily choice of engaging physical, mental and spiritual activities tailored to residents’ interests and abilities.

"We’re making our homes as safe as possible and will ensure that all new residents and staff are vaccinated before moving in or working in our homes.  Please do give us a call on 01392 357 270 if you are looking for care or need any further help."
