Afternoon Tea at Steep House: Nourishing Bodies and Spirits
As part of Nutrition and Hydration Week, Steep House Nursing Home celebrated the importance of good food and social connection by hosting a delightful afternoon tea on Wednesday. This special event welcomed residents, their families, and visitors to come together and enjoy a variety of delicious treats while embracing the opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations.
The afternoon tea was made even more enjoyable by the exceptional efforts of Steep House’s talented chef, who prepared a wonderful selection of teatime favourites. Guests were treated to an array of freshly made cakes, sandwiches, and pastries, all carefully crafted to provide both nutritional value and indulgent enjoyment. Paired with a selection of refreshing beverages, the event not only encouraged hydration but also highlighted the joy of sharing meals in a warm and friendly setting.
Beyond the delicious food, the afternoon was a celebration of community and companionship. Residents and their loved ones had the opportunity to sit together, reminisce, and exchange stories, creating a lively and heartwarming atmosphere. The event underscored the importance of social support in promoting well-being, as research has shown that positive food experiences and social interaction can lead to better dietary choices and improved overall health.
At Steep House, fostering a sense of belonging and ensuring residents have access to nutritious, enjoyable meals are top priorities. Events like these serve as a wonderful reminder that food is not just about sustenance—it is also about connection, comfort, and shared happiness.
With the success of this afternoon tea, the team at Steep House looks forward to hosting more engaging activities that enhance the well-being of residents and create cherished memories for all who attend.
