Residents at a Clacton care home celebrated Valentine's Day with an afternoon surrounded by love.

Staff at Edensor Care Home, in Orwell Road, helped residents celebrate the day by decorating the home with hearts and flowers.

They also enjoyed afternoon tea while listening to classic love songs by guest entertainer Tessa.

Each resident received a special bag of chocolates to celebrate the occasion.

To add to the day’s festivities, everyone joined in singing Happy Birthday to much-loved resident Charlie, who celebrated turning 83.

Care co-ordinator Ewa Ruskowiak said: “We all had a truly special afternoon filled with love, music and companionship.

"Seeing our residents smile and enjoy the moment is what makes these events so meaningful.”

To support the not-for-profit care home and contribute a gift to brighten the residents’ day, you can see their wishlist online at https://linktr.ee/diagramaamazonwishlist or to read more about activities at Edensor visit www.facebook.com/Edensorcarecentre.
