Evenings have been packed with entertainment for residents at our Holy Cross Nursing Home in Sunderland.
First up was a delicious cheese and wine evening where everyone enjoyed tasting a variety of cheeses and wines from around the world and sharing their opinions. The evening continued with songs and dancing and some residents put their talents on show by playing a few musical instruments themselves.
Music featured in their coffee and cake evening, too, but was somewhat overshadowed by the delicacies on offer.
“Our residents loved ordering their cappuccinos and lattes then selecting from the variety of cakes on offer,” said activities co-ordinator, Kayleigh Duddin. “Popular opinion made the strawberry cream cake a clear winner and I was so pleased when one of our residents voted my cappuccino as the best he’d ever tasted!”
The main focus returned to music and singing when the ever-popular Kayleigh Cares visited with her selection of old-time classics such as Rock Around the Clock and Bless ‘Em All.
“We’ve all had a fantastic time being entertained and joining in,” said Kayleigh. “There’s just time to catch our breath before our next session.”
