Heartwarming Valentine’s Day celebrations at Elm Bank Care Home

Residents and staff were treated to a heart-warming celebration filled with music, nostalgia, and delicious treats. The day was made perfect and made even more special with a live performance from local singer Gavin Spencer who delivered a trip down memory lane.

Gavin performed classic songs from the resident’s pasts, songs that had residents unlocking their fond memories of times gone by. Residents sang and danced the afternoon away, with some even crying a few happy tears whilst sharing stories of their younger days and first loves.

Activities Co-ordinator, Tina said: “Gavin created such a magical afternoon for all our residents, and one thing we cannot thank him enough for, is he also delivered songs to our residents who reside in their rooms. Gavin delivered the bedside concerts as a kind gesture, which truly was a touching experience for our residents. Gavin made it a very all-inclusive afternoon spreading love and joy to all.”

General Manager, Larisa Bledea, said: “What a wonderful afternoon of celebrations was had here at the home. As a home we are truly grateful to Gavin for offering to perform to our residents in their rooms, it really made for a magical afternoon.”
