Every year in America National Beer Day is celebrated on the 7th of April, it was decided that at Elm Bank Care Home it to would be celebrated, it was great for the residents who had links with America. It was also perfect for residents that had never heard of the American National Beer Day, on the same day the home celebrated the World Health Organisations World Health Day. It certainly was a very fun day for all, with healthy snacks and smoothies for those that wanted or a nice chilled beer, or both.
Tina, Activities Co-ordinator, said: “Celebrating important days throughout the year are very important to us here at the home, for our residents it brings new opportunities, and World Health Day alongside National Beer Day was a perfect opportunity to celebrate both , working closely with the talented chefs allowed for all our residents to enjoy the day”.
Marvellous Bindura, General Manager at the home, said: “It has been a brilliant day and it is wonderful that as a home we all work together in making celebrating key days throughout the world here in our home possible. Combining activities that honour both traditions here and abroad are certainly a perfect way to keep our residents and their loved ones engaged”.
