Residents and staff at Maitland House have fun for Comic Relief Day

Residents and staff at Maitland House held a Mad Hatter’s Tea Party on Friday 17^th March, celebrating Comic Relief Day.

Staff at the home in Clacton on sea delighted the residents by wearing fancy dress and the home was decorated in the theme of Alice in Wonderland for the day. The special occasion coincided with St Patrick’s Day, so residents enjoyed Irish Stew and Soda bread for lunch, ahead of the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party in the afternoon.

Ann Evans, Manager at Maitland House said everyone enjoyed the day: “We had so much fun on Friday. Our staff love to dress up for the residents and they enjoyed joining in with the Tea Party. It was also a good opportunity to support Nutrition and Hydration week, which is really important for us, enabling us to demonstrate how we keep our residents’ healthy and happy.”
