Harbour Halloween

We celebrated Halloween in our care homes last week. It was a fun time for all with parties, activities, dressing up and trick or treating – great to see everybody get involved!

The residents had a wonderful time, with smiles and laughter filling the rooms. Each care home was adorned with spooky decorations, from carved pumpkins to cobwebs and friendly ghosts. The staff went above and beyond, organizing a variety of activities that catered to everyone’s interests and abilities.

One of the highlights was the costume contest, where residents showcased their creativity. From classic witches and vampires to more whimsical characters, the level of effort and imagination was truly impressive. The joy on their faces as they paraded their costumes was heartwarming.

In addition to dressing up, we hosted a range of themed activities, including pumpkin carving, a spooky bingo game, and a storytelling session where residents shared their favorite Halloween tales. The kitchen staff prepared delicious treats, from caramel apples to pumpkin pies, ensuring everyone had something sweet to enjoy.

The trick-or-treating event brought a sense of nostalgia, with residents reminiscing about their childhood Halloween experiences. Local children were invited to join in the fun, bringing an intergenerational spirit to the festivities that everyone appreciated.

Overall, it was a delightful celebration that brought our community closer together, reminding us all of the joy and camaraderie that events like these can bring. We can’t wait to do it all again next year!
