On March 15, staff and residents at Hampstead Court Care Home in St John’s Wood celebrated St Patrick’s Day in style.
The afternoon began with a heartwarming sing-along, bringing residents, loved ones and community supporters together in joyful harmony. Volunteer Jackie, who regularly spends her time at Hampstead Court, showed off her musical talents as she played a selection of songs on the piano.
This was followed by an impromptu St Patrick’s Day themed quiz, and the ‘Indestructibles’ team were delighted to be crowned champions. The home’s talented culinary team prepared a delicious spread for the occasion, featuring traditional Irish snacks and drinks, including corned beef, soda bread, apple pie and a beer or two.
The day came to a close with a heartfelt rendition of “Danny Boy”. Speaking about the day, Hampstead Court’s Head of Home, Dan Bridges, said: “Thank you to everyone who joined us for this unforgettable event. Here’s to many more moments of joy and fellowship
the spirit of Hampstead Court. Bowl!”
Committed well-being coordinators produce a varied program of activities and events in the home. With a person-centred approach to care, they support residents in living meaningful and meaningful lives. Residents are free to appreciate the finer things in life, including opera performances, themed events, activities and exercise classes such as mindfulness and Tai Chi.
Residents can often be found enjoying aperitifs and cocktails in the home’s piano bar before the evening meal. The cinema room is a popular choice for movie lovers or watching sports on the big screen, and there is a well-stocked library for quiet moments of reading.
Residents can also use the home’s private minibus to explore other areas of interest. Lord’s Cricket Ground, Madame Tussauds and the world famous Abbey Road Studios, where The Beatles did many recordings, are just a short journey away. Hampstead Court is surrounded by boutique shops and chic eateries and has excellent transport links, with Regent’s Park, Hampstead Heath and Primrose Hill nearby.
