KINDNESS IS CONTAGIOUS AT LOCAL CARE HOME

Staff and residents at Barchester’s Mallard Court care home in Bridlington had a wonderful time feeling the love on World Kindness Day, which took place on November 13.

The staff and residents got into the spirit of the day, making lots of kind gestures, such as giving kindness cards and delivering treats for residents out into the local community. They proved that being kind to each other really does make the world a better place.

Celebrated annually on November 13, World Kindness Day focuses on the idea of people being nicer towards each other for the day by carrying out simple acts of kindness for someone else. The day’s ultimate goal is to increase the value that we as a society place on kindness and to make it a bigger part of our daily lives.

General Manager, Angela Dooley, said: “As a care home, it is our duty to cultivate a kind and nurturing environment 100% of the time, but it was great to see residents really getting into the spirit of things and going out of their way to help each other out. We all really liked delivering tasty treats out into the community – it was such a simple, yet effective way to make others happy.”

A resident at Mallard Court, said: “Being kind to people isn’t hard, but it was really nice to see others being extra kind and making little gestures to put a smile on peoples’ faces – just the simple act of paying someone a compliment can really make their day.”

Our varied life enrichment programme keeps residents active, and provides a daily choice of engaging physical, mental and spiritual activities tailored to residents’ interests and abilities.
