HC-One’s Bluebell View Care Home in Oswestry, Shropshire has opened its doors to local primary school children to celebrate Global Intergenerational Week.
Bluebell View has been bridging the generational gap by welcoming in children from Moreton Hall Primary School to build relationships with some of its elderly residents.
Global Intergenerational Week highlights the importance of sharing life stories between those young and old. The celebrations involved Bluebell View residents and Moreton Hall students making and exchanging friendship bracelets. The home often hosts visits from the school for regular stay and chat sessions, which unite the different generations.
Bluebell View’s manager Michelle Middleton-Price said: “It is lovely to see these relationships developing. We are thrilled with the nurturing of friendship which is emerging between the youngsters and our elders here at Bluebell View.
“It’s heart-warming how kind and thoughtful the children are, and we are looking forward to seeing how this progresses.”
