Christmas gift exchange at West Farm

 

Ah, we absolutely love Christmas! Throughout December we ensure many of the activities that residents take part in our festive themes and we organise more social gatherings to encourage togetherness, companionship, and relaxation at this special time of year.

One of the highlights is our Christmas gift exchange. Residents took turns unwrapping presents, their faces lighting up with each surprise. Laughter and chatter filled the room, as paper and ribbons were gently removed to reveal thoughtfully selected gifts.

Staff members joined in, assisting with unwrapping when needed, and sharing in the delight of each new gift. The exchange wasn’t just about the gifts; it was a celebration of the spirit of giving and receiving, a cherished moment where everyone felt valued and loved.

Zara Karimi, our manager, said: “Gift-giving is more than tradition; it’s a way for us to show we care, to see the joy it brings, and to make Christmas at West Farm memorable.”

In the last months of our mother's long life, we took comfort form the fact that she was safe and secure, being well-fed and looked after. The entire care team are brilliant. "
