Clacton care home residents enjoyed a love-filled Valentine's Day.

Residents at Edensor, the Diagrama Foundation Care Centre, in Clacton, celebrated the day of love with crafting activities.

They made handmade hearts to give to visitors and created beautiful rose arrangements, adding a splash of colour and romance to the occasion.

The celebrations concluded with a special Valentine’s tea, complete with sweet treats and a lively sing-along with Tracy, a regular visitor to the home.

Care coordinator Ewa Ruskowiak said: “Celebrating special occasions together is so important to us at Edensor.

"Our residents love being involved in choosing the decorations and activities and it’s always heart-warming to see their ideas come to life.

"Valentine’s Day gave us a lovely opportunity to share kindness with our visitors, and the smiles on their faces made all the effort truly worthwhile.”

The day was enjoyed by residents, staff and visitors, embracing the strong sense of community at the dementia care home.
