Residents and staff from Park View Care Home, part of the Runwood Homes group, joined their local community to attend the town’s Poppy Memorial Service and parade, taking part in a special afternoon of remembrance.
Park View’s activities team accompanied the residents to watch the parade and pay their respects to all those who have served and sacrificed so much. The annual event is an important occasion for Park View, giving residents the opportunity to come together with members of their community and honour those who have served our country.
A highlight of the afternoon was seeing Park View residents standing proudly as the parade passed by and taking the opportunity to talk with other people attending the service. Everyone enjoyed being part of the occasion, with one Park View resident describing it as: “What a fantastic special day for all of us.”
The visit was a meaningful way for residents to take part in a local tradition and share in the community’s act of remembrance.
At Park View Care Home, attending important occasions such as the Poppy Memorial Service gives residents the opportunity to reflect on history, share memories and join their local community in honouring those who have served and sacrificed for our country.
