Hutton Manor Care Home in Pudsey observed Mother’s Day with an extraordinary afternoon tea, meticulously organised by our Activity Coordinator, Crystal. The event was a heartfelt tribute to the spirit of motherhood, celebrated with elegance and joy among residents and staff.
Unforgettable Afternoon Filled with Gratitude and Elegance
Our residents, including Audrey, Brenda, Ann, and Irene, expressed their profound appreciation for the delightful afternoon. The sentiment was echoed by our staff, highlighting the event as a much-needed uplift for everyone involved.
To tailor the celebration to our residents’ preferences, Crystal initiated a thoughtful dialogue to understand their ideal Mother’s Day celebration. The overwhelming request was for an afternoon tea, a tradition rich in elegance and comfort. Responding to their wishes, Crystal collaborated with a local café known for its exquisite afternoon tea selections. The result was a lavish spread of assorted sandwiches, cakes, and savoury items, ensuring a variety of flavours and textures to cater to all palates.
A Touch of Glamour and Nostalgia
The café area of our home was transformed into a serene haven, resonating with the timeless tunes of the ’60s and ’70s. The addition of hair and face props introduced an element of glamour and festivity to the setting. This, combined with an assortment of hot and cold refreshments, created an atmosphere of warmth and celebration.
The event was further enriched by the participation of family members and the collective effort of our staff, symbolising the strong community spirit of Hutton Manor. The Mother’s Day celebration was not merely an event but a reflection of the love, respect, and admiration we hold for each other within our care home.
