Blenheim Court Care Home Goes Above and Beyond with Coronation Festivities
Blenheim Court Care Home in Liss, Hampshire, celebrated King Charles III's coronation in style with a week of coronation festivities leading up to the big day.
The coronation of King Charles III was a historic event for the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth realms, and Blenheim Court Care Home ensured that their residents were able to enjoy the festivities in a safe and enjoyable way. The day was full of anticipation and excitement, with Union Jack flags being waved and colourful bunting decorating the home and gardens. Despite the British weather not living up to expectations, the residents were determined to show their British spirit, with many braving the elements and taking part in the celebrations outside.
The care home held a fancy-dress competition, decorated the home with balloon displays and bunting, and enjoyed plenty of royalty-themed food and drinks. The celebrations culminated in a hearty BBQ, classic English puddings, and a glass of Pimm's on the weekend of the coronation, followed by afternoon tea and dancing in the home's bistro.
Deputy Manager, Kelly Bessey surprised everyone and sang a ‘It’s got to be perfect’, acapella style and residents and team members joined in.
