Our story began at Sunny Meadow Care Home, where we met a lady called Vera who was very nervous. It was her very first day living at Sunny Meadow Care Home. She had a small bag of items and her family were delivering her other belongings after she had settled in.
Luckily, some of us has some experience of care homes, and we knew that often the people living there are much older and sometimes they can be a little forgetful. We spoke to Vera so kindly, with respect and understanding. When she said she wanted her room to feel like home, immediately everyone said we can help you. So, whilst Vera went to visit other residents and have some lunch, we began setting up her room…. We even made some of her belongings and added them into our story.
We invited Vera back to her room and showed her what we had done and she was really happy. She loved our box of items on her dressing table. We made mirrors, perfume, compacts, make up and other home comforts.
Sunny Meadow had a sign outside, but it wasn’t very bright and colourful. Together, with teamwork we worked so hard to share small sections of the sign and add bright colours to make the sign much happier and appealing. Look how well our team worked together…
Each small section came together to make a beautiful sign. Teamwork and sharing meant we could all make this wonderful piece of art for Sunny Meadow Care Home. We can’t wait to find out what else we can do to help the care home.
