'A strong sense of community' - celebrating great food and great company
Residents and families at HC-One’s Perry Locks Care Home in Perry Barr, Birmingham, West Midlands, came together to enjoy a delightful Cheese and Wine Day, celebrating great food, great company, and a strong sense of community.
Invitations were sent out to residents’ families, who as always were incredibly supportive and turned out in wonderful numbers to join the celebration. The event featured a specially prepared cheese tasting, beautifully arranged by the home’s talented kitchen team. Guests were treated to an elegant spread of varied cheeses, crisp biscuits, fresh grapes, and savoury olives, accompanied by a curated selection of wines and a splash of Prosecco to add some sparkle to the occasion.
The atmosphere was lively as residents welcomed their guests, shared platters, and even enjoyed a friendly debate over which cheese deserved the title of the best. With music playing in the background and plenty of laughter filling the room, it was an afternoon of snacking, sipping, and socialising.
Patience Cole, HC-One’s Perry Locks Care Home’s General Manager said: “Our residents were so excited to host such a joyful gathering. It’s always a pleasure to see everyone come together and enjoy these moments. The support from families means the world to us.”
