Festive lights are up at East Hoathly care home
Lighting up time got a whole new meaning at Lydfords Care Home as the community came together to see the home’s Christmas lights switched on for the very first time this Christmas.
Staff and residents at Barchester’s Lydfords care home, in East Hoathly, got in the Christmas spirit by inviting the community to come and join in with staff and residents who all gathered in the home’s garden for the occasion.
The garden pavilion was expertly decorated in numerous different lights and looked fantastic. Lydfords also teamed up with Local Charities, Uckfield Men’s Shed and the Travelling Tea Trays, who helped create some lovely decorations.
There was mulled wine, hot chocolate and mince pies all prepared by head chef, Joe Grey to keep everyone warm. The Christmas tree and all the lights looked amazing when the home’s General Manager, Anthony Butler, flicked the switch for the big reveal.
General Manager, Anthony Buter said: “We absolutely love Christmas here at Lydfords, it is such a special time and we all love decorating the home and having a lovely big tree. This is possibly the biggest we’ve ever had but then, it is Christmas so you have to go over the top!”
Beryl, resident at Lydfords said: “It feels properly Christmassy now all the lights are up, the home looks so beautiful – I can’t wait for my family to see the lights next time they visit!”
