It's the most wonderful time of the year

Residents and staff had a brilliant time, we were greeted by a friendly face and shown to our reserved seating where the table was beautifully decorated and Christmas crackers. Heathfield Farm is a firm favourite of residents for the carvery’s delicious traditional pub menu.

The residents enjoyed pulling the crackers, winning crayons, a bottle opener and a pencil sharpener, all of which we shall keep for later use and they proudly wore their crown hats, sharing stories and memories of Christmas traditions with their own families.

General Manager, Paula Pearson said: “We absolutely love being able to take our residents out and about to visit local areas, it makes us all so happy to experience Christmas events like this. It has been a fantastic day and they all thoroughly enjoyed themselves.”

Edna, resident at Spen Court care home said: “We have all had the most wonderful time visiting Heathfield Farm. How lovely to be able to visit places like this and enjoy the atmosphere, it has made us all feel so Christmassy!”

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.
