Residents and staff at Shannon Court, in Hindhead, Surrey, have recently celebrated their annual high tea party in the Home’s gardens. Residents spent a fun day with their loved ones and the wider community, enjoying live music performances, a raffle draw, and delicious food and drinks. The warm weather was the cherry on top, turning the event into the perfect summer party.
The high tea party was organised by the Association of the Friends of Shannon Court, an independent charity that supports the Home by befriending residents, organising events or fundraising for different activities to help enhance the residents’ lives.
Residents spent time with their loved ones and with staff members. For resident Edith, this was her third summer party at the Home. She had a great time with Team Leader Fanta, whom she knows since Fanta was a Senior Carer at the Home.
Steve Stace, Shannon Court’s Business Manager, says:
The annual garden party, supported by our Association of Friends, is an important event that brings residents, families, staff and the community together.
It has a real positive impact on the residents’ wellbeing as it brings joy and special moments for all. It also shows what the Home can offer and what working together can achieve for our residents.
Shannon Court Care Home is a beautifully renovated Edwardian country home, situated in the picturesque village of Hindhead in Surrey. It provides residential care and residential dementia support for up to 53 residents, with permanent care or short-stay respite breaks.
