At Rectory House Nursing Home in Sompting, Valentine’s Day took on a deeply personal meaning this year, as residents came together to reflect on love, share memories, and connect with one another.
In the days leading up to the celebration, the wellbeing team worked alongside residents to make cards, origami hearts, and decorations, each one a small but meaningful act of creativity. The process wasn’t just about preparing for the holiday—it became an opportunity to celebrate the care and connection within the community.
Residents enjoyed an afternoon tea together and shared photographs of their loved ones, telling stories of spouses, friends, and family members who had touched their lives. These conversations were filled with warmth, as memories of laughter, special moments, and lasting affection were shared. Reminiscing about lives full of love and joy allowed residents to not only honor the past, but also feel the warmth and support of a community that cherishes them today.
