The Easter holidays provided the perfect opportunity for children in the community to visit their local Hamberley Care Homes for themed activities.
There were yelps of delight when children from a local nursery school joined residents at Milngavie Manor for their annual Easter egg hunt.
The children from Clober Primary School Nursery Class couldn’t wait to get started when they arrived at the home as residents read out the clues for the hunt.
As well as the exciting hunt, the children and residents joined forces to make beautiful Easter decorations showing off their creative skills, as well as sharing design ideas.
Milngavie Manor’s Wellbeing and Lifestyle Coach Morag Scott said everyone enjoyed the event with the children bringing such happy energy to the home.
She said: “We always love doing these kinds of intergenerational activities, they benefit everyone no matter what our age.
“For the residents, the children bring such joy, hope and energy whilst the children love all the encouragement and praise the residents give, as well as all the stories the residents love to tell them.”
There were eggs galore at an event at Upton Manor Care Home where guests also enjoyed a number of thrilling Easter-themed games.
Wellbeing and Lifestyle Coach Amy Morrison said the day at the Dorchester Road home was tremendous fun and even the weather was good, ensuring everyone had a good time.
Amy said: “We are very much part of the community here at Upton Manor and we enjoy these opportunities when we can share these special dates.
“The day was a fantastic success, and it was so nice to see so many people arrive at our home ready for the great hunt.
“We painted our own eggs and then did an egg and spoon race, we coloured our own bunny masks and did bunny hopping races, played bunny skittles and even had the Easter bunny join us for the actual Easter Egg Hunt then we raffled off an Easter egg basket, we have had so much fun!”
Creative Cofton Park Manor homemaker Emma delighted residents and little Alfie when she made the most amazing Easter flowers shaped out of balloons.
Emma, who joined Cofton Park Manor Home in January, spent the morning making the Easter decorations and invited families along too.
And Alfie, whose grandmother Sybil lives at Cofton Park Manor, couldn’t wait to get started on making his own decorations.
Wellbeing and Lifestyle Coach Gail Bessent said: “The activity formed part of our intergenerational activities at the home.
“There was a lot of laughter and plenty of balloons flying around the room.”
