Residents from Rosedale Court Care Home, part of the Runwood Homes Group, recently had memorable day out with a bus trip to Southend-on-Sea. The group took in the scenic views of the seafront, watched the waves crash against the shore, and enjoyed a traditional fish and chip lunch at the popular Ye Olde Chippy.
The outing proved to be a wonderful opportunity for residents to enjoy one of their favourite pastimes, visiting the seaside.
Louise Healy, Lifestyle Lead at Rosedale Court, commented:
“Our residents absolutely love trips to Southend. There’s something so special about the seaside, the sound of the waves, the smell of the sea air, and, of course, enjoying traditional fish and chips together”.
Barry shared, “I’m so glad I came out today and got to know the other residents. I really enjoyed myself.”
The trip was inspired by a group of residents who requested a seaside outing, demonstrating the home’s commitment to supporting resident choice and encouraging community spirit. The atmosphere throughout the day was light-hearted and full of fun, with one of the standout moments being the spectacular sight of crashing waves on a stormy sea.
This outing forms part of Rosedale Court’s ongoing dedication to promoting wellbeing, independence and community engagement.
