Care home celebrates Global Intergenerational Week

HC-One’s Springwater Lodge Care Home in Calverton, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, have been bridging the generational gap by welcoming in children from St Wilfred’s Primary School, as it celebrated Global Intergenerational Week. Children from St Wilfred’s Primary School were invited along to the care home to build relationships with some of its elderly residents at Springwater Lodge Care Home.

The celebrations involved residents at Springwater Lodge listening to the children from St Wilfred’s Primary School read their favourite books to them. It brought residents at Springwater Lodge so much joy to see the children share their love for stories and reading with them.

Christine Guest, aged 77, a talented resident at HC-One’s Springwater Lodge Care Home, shared a beautiful poem she had written to the children. The home often hosts visits from St Wilfred’s Primary School who are aged between 4 and 8 years old, which unites the different generations together.

Ana Filip, HC-One’s Springwater Lodge Deputy Care Home Manager, said:

“It is lovely to see these relationships developing. It’s heart-warming how kind and thoughtful the children are, and we are looking forward to seeing how this progresses."
