Residents at our nursing homes in Sunderland and Newcastle have been marking Dignity Action Day with some tasty treats and poignant thoughts.
At our Holy Cross nursing home in Sunderland, residents and staff gathered together to read out a collection of lovely poems and lively cartoons relating to dignity, which also doubled as a fitting tribute to World Read Aloud Day.
Our residents then enjoyed an afternoon ‘digni-tea’, which included a specially decorated cake made by the home’s chef.
Meanwhile, our St Catherine’s Nursing Home residents in Newcastle were supported by staff to decorate their dignity tree with some of the many positive words to be found in our home’s latest CQC inspection report.
Dignity is embedded in training and practice for every member of our staff and Dignity Action Day provides an opportunity to further highlight its importance.
