Brownies Bring Joy to Rosedale Court Care Home

Residents at Rosedale Court Care Home, part of the Runwood Homes Group, were treated to a heartwarming visit from the girls at the 3rd Downhall Brownies Rayleigh on 20th February. The event, which was organised by Lifestyle Coordinator Louise, aimed to bring the community together and create special memories for residents.

The Brownies spent the day baking delicious chocolate brownies with the residents and later performed a lively singing and dancing routine in the home’s lounge. The visit sparked joy among both the residents and staff, filling the hallways with music and laughter.

Jean, a resident at Rosedale Court, expressed her delight, saying,
“I love seeing and listening to the Brownies as I was a Girl Guide.” Another resident, Lorna, added, “Thank you for bringing them in to sing to me. It was very special.” The wider community also shared their appreciation.

The idea for this visit came from Louise, who has fostered a relationship with the Brownies and their leaders. Thanks to this connection, the young visitors will now be making regular trips to Rosedale Court, bringing even more joy to the residents.

“The visit was a fantastic opportunity for our residents to feel part of the wider community and reminisce about their own childhood,” said Louise. “The atmosphere was full of fun and energy, and it was wonderful to see the smiles on everyone’s faces.”

One of the standout moments of the visit was a special dance performance by the Brownies in the lounge, which was met with applause and enthusiasm from the residents.
