Tripping The Light Fantastic At Local Care Home

Hyacinth House in Stapehill, Wimborne, recently kicked off the countdown to Christmas in style with a magical Christmas light switch-on. Residents, their families, friends and members of the community gathered to enjoy a festive afternoon filled with cheer.

Entertainment was provided by the talented local musician and singer Charlotte Geary, who delighted everyone with a selection of Christmas favourites. This was followed by a beautiful performance of a traditional carols sing-a-long by St Michael’s Church Choir, who generously donated their time on the Sunday afternoon to spread joy.

Guests were treated to delicious mulled wine and mince pies lovingly prepared by the home’s hospitality team, creating the perfect warm and cosy atmosphere. A wonderful time was had by all as the lights officially marked the start of the festive season.

A special mention goes to Richard Carpenter, General Manager at The Libertine, Westbourne, for kindly donating a Christmas tree for our community to enjoy.

Hyacinth House General Manager Kamila Gagala said:
“It was a wonderful afternoon bringing the community together and marking the start of the festive season. We have so many exciting activities and events planned for our residents and the community this season. This year, we are once again hosting ‘Don’t Dine Alone at Christmas’, welcoming any older people in our community who may otherwise face the holiday alone. Thank you to everyone who helped make this event so special and to all who joined us for this memorable day.”
