Staff and residents at The Beeches Care Home in East Harling, Norfolk went above and beyond to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in style this June – with a garden extravaganza not to be missed!

Complete with live entertainers, fun activities and games, our residents were joined by their family and friends within the grounds of the home to have our first large-scale gathering since prior to Covid19. To see our residents interacting with their loved ones within the grounds of the home was a real treat for all.

This was a hugely poignant celebration for a number of our residents who have fond memories of the Queen’s Coronation and wedding day which were prominent and memorable occasions throughout their lives.  

Due to this the home took part in the Queen’s Green Canopy – marking this special occasion by planting a tree in her majesty’s honour alongside a commemorative plaque which will sit in the beautiful homes gardens for years to come.

Residents were treated to an outstanding buffet by chefs Alison and Wendy who went above and beyond creating the most glorious themed cakes for the event, which made everyone’s mouth water.

Park House Care Home 

At Park House Care Home in Great Yarmouth our residents were treated to a truly amazing celebration in the home to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, recognising her service for 70 consecutive years on the throne!

Residents were excitedly awaiting the bank holiday celebrations in Great Yarmouth with baited breath, readying themselves for the big day by designing custom artwork and decorations to ensure the home was looking it’s very best for the big occasion.

Residents were joined by their family and friends for one of our first open-house events since prior to the Coronavirus pandemic.  Due to the obvious poignance of seeing these events return to care homes, staff went above and beyond at every opportunity to ensure our residents were having an unforgettable and amazing experience within the home.
