16 June 2025
Father’s Day is a special occasion to honour and celebrate the wonderful fathers, grandfathers, stepfathers, and father figures who have shaped our lives with love, strength, and guidance. Across our care homes, we marked this cherished day with heartfelt celebrations, laughter, and a whole lot of fun.
Here’s a glimpse into how our homes celebrated:
Kenyon Lodge Care Home
It was an absolutely brilliant afternoon at Kenyon Lodge as we welcomed a very special guest—none other than Marilyn Monroe! 🥰💙 Our residents were mesmerised by the performance, enjoying music and glamour that brought smiles and happy memories to life. A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and made the afternoon even more special, and a big round of applause to our well-being team and staff for bringing it all together so perfectly.
Elmcroft Care Home
What a great Father’s Day we had at Elmcroft! Residents were delighted by a visit from our lovable therapy dog, Nancy, who did the rounds sharing chocolate treats (and of course, her tummy for plenty of strokes and fuss!). The afternoon was made complete with a classic combination of pie, mash, and a pint—simple pleasures, perfectly enjoyed. 🥰
Wrottesley Park Care Home
At Wrottesley Park, we dedicated the weekend to celebrating the amazing dads, grandads, and father figures in our home 💙. The activity room was alive with decorations, photo props, and themed activities like word searches, puzzles, and colouring pages. One of the most treasured moments was sharing childhood stories and fond memories of fathers and family life—nostalgia and laughter filled the air.
The beautiful weather encouraged us outdoors for garden games, bubbles, and fresh air, before settling in to enjoy the Movie of the Day: Harry Potter, complete with popcorn and pool games. A truly magical Father’s Day celebration! ✨🎬
Farnworth Care Home
A relaxed and heartfelt afternoon unfolded at Farnworth, where all the dads were treated to a cup of tea, delicious cakes, and thoughtful gifts. Banners with “Dad” adorned the rooms, spreading smiles and appreciation throughout the home.
Heron Hill Care Home
At Heron Hill, our gentlemen were each treated to a little gift bag filled with chocolates—a sweet gesture to celebrate the day in a simple, thoughtful way.
Aaron Court Care Home
Father’s Day at Aaron Court was marked with a specially curated menu to celebrate all the incredible father figures in our community. From comforting cheese & broccoli soup to succulent 12-hour braised beef short ribs, and ending with a coconut & lime cheesecake with jalapeño gel, every dish was carefully crafted to bring joy to all, regardless of dietary needs.
Because food isn’t just about nourishment — it’s about sharing moments, sparking smiles, and showing love.
Thank You to All Our Teams
These beautiful celebrations wouldn’t be possible without the dedication of our activity teams, catering teams, and all staff who work tirelessly to create joyful moments for our residents. Thank you for making Father’s Day so special.
Here’s to the incredible fathers and father figures in our lives — past and present — who continue to inspire, love, and guide us every day. 💙
