Prince Edward Duke of Kent Court staff create magical wonderland for residents

Bringing fantasy and adventure to their care home, staff at Prince Edward Duke of Kent Court, in Braintree, Essex, have created a magical Alice in Wonderland themed day for residents.

Leading up to the event, staff members volunteered their time to build an enchanted scene filled with decorations in the Home’s gardens, which is set in Stisted Hall, a Grade II listed property with period features dating back to 1825.

On the day, family, friends and children from a local nursery joined residents for a Mad Hatter’s tea party, tucking into scones, cupcakes and other sweet treats. Staff dressed up as their favourite characters and entertained guests with games, sports and music.

Barbara, whose mother, Kitty, is a resident at the care home, said:

You can really see how much effort has been put in by the staff. Everyone was smiling all day.

Staff, family members and children dressed up so it was a fun and colourful scene, which our residents thoroughly appreciated. People shared stories and the experience gave our residents the opportunity to form new memories. There were smiles all around,

said Sophie, Activities Coordinator at Prince Edward Duke of Kent Court.
