IT WON’T BE LONELY THIS CHRISTMAS AT THE HAZELWELL
AS CARE HOME PLANS LOTS OF FESTIVE FUN
Residents at a Wirral care home will be enjoying a range of
special lunches and Christmas events with those important to
them to mark the festive season and spread goodwill to others
this December.
Staff at The Hazelwell, which offers residential, nursing, palliative
and respite care, have organised lots of festival fun to make this
season one to remember for everyone who lives at the home on
Oldfield Road in Heswall.
The Christmassy celebrations will begin with a special lunch on
November 27 to bring together residents and visiting outside
professionals, support staff and volunteers who do so much for
them. The Hazelwell Care Home Manager Sue Ball, says it gives
the home the chance to say a big ‘thank you’ for all their efforts.
The Hazelwell team have also invited volunteers from the YMCA
Wirral in Birkenhead to attend the lunch as the home supports
the homeless charity with fundraising and donating efforts all
year round.
Sue said: “Here at The Hazelwell, we like to use Christmas as
an opportunity to thank all of those people who have been so
supportive to us all year and help make The Hazelwell the care
home it is.
“We are really proud of our relationship with the YMCA Wirral
in Birkenhead too and have been supporting them for a couple
of years so we know how very important their work is, especially
at this time of year so we were very keen to invite them to them
to the lunch event too.”
The Hazelwell is also pairing up with Age UK and hosting a
Christmas lunch for Wirral veterans on December 4. Based
on the site of the former Cleaver Hospital, used by The Home
Guard in the Second World War, the home has a long history of
supporting the work of the Armed Forces and is pleased to be
bringing together veterans and residents in support of Age UK
during the festive season.
Mrs Ball added: “We are looking forward to partnering with
Age UK and welcoming war veterans who did so much for this
country to the home for another special lunch with residents of
The Hazelwell.
“Christmas is a really special time for our residents as it brings
back so many memories, and we love embracing the songs,
decorations and traditions. We aim to include something for
everyone to enjoy this year and for those who simply love all
things Christmassy - there’s lots and lots of festive fun to be had!”
The party atmosphere will be back once more on December
7, with all staff and residents’ families coming together for
Christmas carols and a festive singalong for all to enjoy.
The Hazelwell activities co-ordinator Sandra Clarke added:
“We’re looking forward to all our residents having a really joyful
time with the team here at The Hazelwell and their friends and
families. It’s not always an easy time of year for many of them
and we will be hoping to create lots of new happy Christmas
memories.”
