Celebrating Christmas in our Care Homes

This year has been like no other, but one thing that’s not going to change is our teams will be pulling out all the stops to make sure our residents have an amazing Christmas! The magic will be starting a little earlier this year across all our homes – and here’s just a flavour of what’s in store as we know many of you are wondering “how do residents celebrate Christmas in a Sanctuary Care home?” Well, here’s how…

The sound of music

And talking of winter wonderlands – where would we be without the sound of music? This year, we will be making our very own rendition of the ‘Winter Wonderland’ classic, thanks to the launch of our national virtual choir.

Our staff and residents will be joining forces to create their very own choir in each of our 100 care homes. Complete with make-shift instruments and song sheets, even those who are not musically gifted have been warming up those vocal cords! And as practice makes perfect, after a few weeks of choir rehearsals, all our fabulous care home choirs have performed together, virtually, to bring festive cheer.

Christmas surrounded by love

And enriching lives is something we are so proud of. Heartbreakingly, on average 225,000 people over the age of 65 can go over a week without talking to anyone. Thankfully, this doesn’t include our residents – to our teams they are like an extended family and they surround them with love and happiness.

Every year our staff spend precious time with our residents on Christmas day, ensuring they have the most amazing time. And the same is happening this year, with so many of our staff swapping Christmas jumpers for their uniforms and heading off for a care home Christmas.

And although Christmas is a big celebration in our care home calendar, our teams are here 365 days a year, 24/7 to deliver the best possible care and truly person-centred activities all year round. You can find out how we are enriching lives at this time, or any time of the year, by following us on social media (Facebook and Twitter) or speaking with our Enquiry Support Team.
