After Santa finished handing out all the presents, he didn’t stop there! As the excitement grew, Santa trained his second-in-command because the real work was about to begin – serving Christmas dinner to our residents and their guests. 🍽️

Our Home Manager warmly welcomed everyone and poured a glass of wine to make the atmosphere truly Christmassy.

When everyone was ready, our talented chef John and his amazing team began dishing up a mouth-watering three-course festive dinner.

What made the day even more magical? Santa and his helper personally served each resident and guest, chatting and laughing as they went. The food was delicious, complemented by drinks tailored to everyone’s needs – from light alcoholic options to refreshing non-alcoholic choices. In the background, Alexa played traditional Christmas songs, lifting spirits and filling the home with festive cheer. 🎶

What an unforgettable Christmas we had! Santa himself visited our wonderful residents, delivering gifts and spreading festive cheer. The atmosphere was magical – full of joy, love, and excitement.

Our residents, many living with dementia, rely on our team to anticipate their needs and create moments of happiness. It was truly heart-warming to see that so many remembered Santa! 💖 One resident kissed Santa’s white glove to say thank you, another kept repeating, “Thank you, Santa!”, and many couldn’t wait to have their photo taken with him.

Our very own Santa spent time with each resident, helping them read their cards and explore the surprises in their gift bags. 🎁

A huge thank you to the owner of Nightingale Court for his dedication and warmth, spending the day with the Nightingale Family and making it extra special. 🙏
