Residents and staff at Park View Care Home, part of the Runwood Homes group, came together to celebrate Diwali, enjoying a special day filled with cultural traditions and delicious food.
The celebration was inspired by one of the home’s carers, Nirmala, who went above and beyond to make the occasion memorable for everyone. She decorated the home, helped Park View residents and colleagues dress up for the festivities and beautifully applied henna, giving everyone the chance to get involved and experience some of the traditions associated with Diwali.
Park View residents and staff embraced the celebrations, with everyone enjoying seeing colleagues dressed up and having the opportunity to try different foods. The day offered a chance to learn more about another culture and share in the joy of this special festival.
One Park View resident summed up the experience by saying: “It was really nice to enjoy a different culture.”
The Park View team would like to thank Nirmala for the time and care she put into organising the day and making sure residents could take part.
At Park View, celebrating occasions such as Diwali are so important as they give residents and staff the opportunity to learn about different cultures, enjoy new experiences and share in traditions that are meaningful to others.
