Christmas Goodwill and Good Times at Apsley House Care Home

Christmas has always been a favourite time of the year for the residents of Apsley House, our care home in Bognor, and 2022 was no different. The festive season kicked off with some arts and crafts. Residents enjoyed making and decorating a number of Christmas themed creations including snowmen and gingerbread women, which were then displayed alongside the stunning decorations already up around the home.

A few days later it was time for the annual Apsley House Christmas party. We welcomed many friends and family members of our residents and it was a wonderful event with plenty of fun and fantastic food enjoyed by all. The party day was combined with Elf Day, with our amazing team dressing up as elves and raising an amazing £140 for the Alzheimer’s Society.

The big day itself began with the residents receiving their Christmas gifts, delivered by head elf Sam. After the excitement and commotion of opening them was out of the way everybody gathered at the dining tables to enjoy a delicious Christmas lunch courtesy of Chef Patsy. All of the traditional dishes were on offer, as well as plenty of drinks and Christmas crackers to go around, and the residents had a fantastic day enjoying each other’s company.
