Residents at Longview Care Home, part of the Runwood Homes Group, were treated to a heartwarming visit on Wednesday 28th May, when a familiar face stopped by with a thoughtful gesture and plenty of charm. Finn, the child of a dedicated staff member, made a special half-term visit to the home, bringing smiles and chocolates for everyone.

Finn, a regular and much-loved visitor at Longview, spent time chatting with residents about school, his hobbies, and his upcoming birthday. His presence, as always, lit up the room and created a joyful atmosphere filled with laughter and connection.

Resident Bill shared, “I loved seeing Finn today. He’s been coming into Longview for a long time to spend time with us. Sometimes he plays chess with me.”

The spontaneous visit, sparked by Finn’s own desire to visit Longview during his school break, is a beautiful example of the meaningful bonds shared between residents and the wider community. Longview looks forward to more visits like this, where laughter, stories, and chocolates are shared in equal measure.
