Craigbank Care Home Celebrates Mother’s Day with Afternoon Tea

In a heartwarming celebration of Mother’s Day, Craigbank Care Home opened its doors to relatives and residents for a delightful afternoon tea on Sunday. The event, aimed at honouring the cherished mothers within the home, was filled with joy, laughter, and touching moments.

Relatives visiting their loved ones were treated to a cozy afternoon tea experience, sharing special moments with their mums over a selection of sandwiches, cakes, and a choice of beverages, whether it be tea, coffee, or a refreshing soft drink. What made the occasion even more memorable was the personal touch of serving these treats right in the residents’ bedrooms, ensuring comfort and convenience for everyone involved.

Every lady residing in Craigbank received a beautiful flower, presented with the option of a delicate rose or a vibrant tulip. The gesture brought smiles and surprises, adding an extra layer of joy to the day’s festivities.

In a touching interaction, the staff at Craigbank Care Home asked some of the ladies, gentlemen, and fellow caregivers about the invaluable advice passed down to them by their mothers, advice that has stayed with them throughout their lives. The responses echoed wisdom, love, and faith, with sentiments ranging from “Don’t get married” shared by Dorothy, to Steven’s reminder to “always love your family,” and Claribel’s steadfast guidance to “stay close to God.”

Reflecting on the event, relatives expressed their gratitude and appreciation for the thoughtful initiative undertaken by the care home. They lauded the efforts to make Mother’s Day truly special for all involved, fostering an environment where cherished memories could be created and treasured for years to come.
