Wadhurst care home residents honour the fallen on Remembrance Day
Wadhurst Manor Care Home, in Wadhurst, commemorated Remembrance Day on Sunday 9 November. A group of residents attended Wadhurst Garden of Remembrance ceremony to lay a Wadhurst Manor Wreath bearing their remembrance message, ‘Your sacrifice gave us our lives. We thank you and salute you.’
Following a week of therapeutic activities such as making poppy displays, listening to old wartime songs, reading war poems and discussing their wartime memories, residents marked Remembrance Day by wearing poppies and watching the televised service from The Cenotaph, joining the rest of the United Kingdom in holding a two-minute silence at 11am.
Catalin Gyulai, General Manager at Wadhurst Manor Care Home, said: “We have many residents with personal ties to the military and many who have experienced conflict either at home or abroad so it was important to us to mark Remembrance Day and honour the contribution of everyone involved in the World Wars and in subsequent conflicts.
Wadhurst Manor care home is run by Barchester Healthcare, one of the UK’s largest care providers, which is committed to delivering personalised care across its care homes and hospitals.
