Happy Grandparents’ Day
Grandparents’ Day, traditionally celebrated on the first Sunday of October, provides a meaningful opportunity to honor and express gratitude towards the older generation.
At our homes, the day was marked by visits from loved ones, where residents shared stories and laughter with their grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Meanwhile, at Milton Court Care Home in Milton Keynes, residents shared their hobbies, interests, and valuable advice with the younger generation, creating an opportunity for intergenerational exchange.
