Buckinghamshire care home residents enjoy egg-stra special Easter with local youngsters

Residents at a care home in Buckinghamshire enjoyed a cracking Easter afternoon with a visit from local school children. 

Care UK’s Maids Moreton Hall, on Church Street, welcomed pupils from Maids Moreton Church of England School for an afternoon of Easter crafts. 

The children and residents enjoyed painting their eggs in the home’s lounge, which had been transformed into an art workshop, complete with paints, brushes, and pencils, by the home’s team members. With their newly designed eggs freshly painted, the children placed them on the home’s Easter tree, for the residents to enjoy. 

Commenting on the afternoon, Keria Ainsworth, Headteacher of Maids Moreton Church of England School, said: “The events this term have been just lovely and have been the highlight of my term!

The interaction between the residents and the children has been just lovely. One little boy today told me he didn't want to leave!”

Ioana Almasan, General Manager at Maids Moreton Hall, said: “We love celebrating Easter at Maids Moreton, and always enjoy welcoming the local children who have formed heart-warming relationships with the residents. 

“Intergenerational relationships have many benefits for older people, from offering an increased sense of purpose, to providing an opportunity to reminisce about their younger years. Everyone loved painting their eggs, and we hope our friends at Maids Moreton Church of England School enjoy tucking into their chocolate treats over the Easter holidays!”

Designed to enable residents to live active and fulfilled lives, while also promoting independence, Maids Moreton incorporates space for hobby and leisure activities. The layout of the home has been configured to help facilitate the creation of close-knit communities and encourage social interaction among the residents.
