Residents at HC-One’s The Oakes Care Home in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, have enjoyed a series of heart-warming trips to Blackpool over the past few weeks, sparking joyful memories of holidays and seaside adventures from years gone by.

Wrapped up warm against the coastal breeze, residents enjoyed leisurely strolls along the famous promenade, taking in views of the sea, the Blackpool Tower, and the busy beachfront. The outings brought back fond recollections of childhood trips, weekend getaways, donkey rides, fish and chips on the pier, and the unmistakable scent of fresh sea air.

The visits also provided the chance to create new memories, reinforcing The Oakes’ commitment to enriching the lives of those in its care.

Maria King, Regional Admissions Coordinator, said: “Supporting our residents to revisit places that mean something to them is incredibly special. Seeing their faces light up as they remembered past holidays has been truly wonderful.”

Natalie Marshall, Wellbeing Coordinator at The Oakes, added:
“Seeing the residents’ faces in Blackpool is heart-warming, we love creating memories for them. It’s moments like these that remind us why wellbeing activities are so important.”
