SCHOOL CHILDREN KEEP WIRRAL
CARE HOME RESIDENTS CHEERFUL
Residents at a Wirral care home have been overwhelmed to
receive lovely letters, cards and pictures from children at
nearby secondary school. in Oldfield Road which opened in 2016 and has a rating
of 4.7 out of five on leading UK care home review website
carehome.co.uk.
The Hazelwell, a residential, nursing, palliative and respite
care in Heswall, received messages and drawings from
pupils at Neston High School to help keep those in their care
connected to the local community during the coronavirus
crisis. Sue Ball, care home manager at The Hazelwell, said staff are
keeping residents cheery with activities at the home but were
bowled over by the kindness of messages.
The home is unable to host visits from friends and relatives at
the moment after taking the necessary steps to safeguard its
residents by closing it to non-essential visitors.
Pupils sent in letters, cards and pictures so care home staff
at The Hazelwell could share them with everyone who lives
there and bring a smile to their faces.
Like many other schools across the Wirral, Neston High
School, closed its doors to almost all school children – except
key workers – last Friday and its students are remote learning
from home. The school is four miles away from The Hazelwell
