ELDERLY residents have been shopping to help redecorate their care home.
Residents at Barford Court, Hove, enjoyed a trip to a local garden centre.
As part of their regular out-of-home activities, the residents travelled via the home’s minibus accompanied by Barford Court’s staff.
The aim of the trip was to get ideas for the care home, which the residents are helping to redecorate.
Beryl Ward, 94, said: “It was so nice to be out and about and to get out in the minibus.”
Joyce Drew, 88, said: “I really liked looking at the bright coloured flowers.”
The residents not only looked for plants, but also for stuffed animals to make Barford Court homely.
Michelle Dyer, activities co-ordinator at Barford Court, helped them find the best items.
She said: “I had a lovely time exploring the garden centre with the residents. It was so nice to see the smiles on their faces.”
RMBI Home Barford Court is run by RMBI Care Co., part of the Masonic Charitable Foundation.
