On Wednesday, 4th December, The Belmont care home in Worcester, part of the Sanders Senior Living Group, embraced the Christmas spirit with a joyful celebration of Elf Day in support of the Alzheimer’s Society.
The event featured a lively coffee morning, where residents and their family members gathered to enjoy tea, coffee, and a delectable selection of cakes prepared by The Belmont’s talented kitchen team. The atmosphere was merry, with festive music filling the room and staff dressed as cheerful elves. Adding to the excitement were the antics of some mischievous elves, who created chaos by making a mess in the manager’s office and toppling chairs arranged for the coffee morning. This playful havoc delighted the residents, who kept a close eye on the cakes to protect them from the naughty elves!
Family members joined in the festivities, spending quality time with their loved ones and friends while participating in quizzes and word searches set up on the tables. The Belmont team was thrilled to announce that they raised £84 for the Alzheimer’s Society, a cause close to their hearts.
Carla Sidaway, Customer Relations Manager at The Belmont, shared her thoughts on the event:
“The Elf Day coffee morning was a great success. We really enjoy these gatherings as they mean so much to the residents and their families, offering a relaxed space to come together and have a lovely time. We’ve enjoyed linking up with the Alzheimer’s Society and plan to do more with them in the future!”
The Belmont’s Home Manager Stephanie Howard added,
“It was wonderful to see everyone enjoying themselves during another busy coffee morning at The Belmont. It’s fantastic to be involved in this year’s Elf Day, and we’re already looking forward to the next one—hopefully with fewer naughty elves! A big thank you to our wonderful team for making this day so special for our lovely residents. We’re also working on more fundraising ideas for the Alzheimer’s Society, so watch this space!”
The Belmont’s participation in Elf Day highlights it’s dedication to supporting residents living with dementia while fostering connections with their families and the wider community. Through events like these, The Belmont continues to create a joyful and inclusive environment for all.
