Stone Cross care home celebrates 81st anniversary of VE Day

Sycamore Grove in Stone Cross marked the 81st anniversary of Victory in Europe Day in style. The home was decorated in red, white and blue and residents and enjoyed an afternoon of music from that era which turned into a harmonious singalong.

The residents spent time reminiscing and discussing personal recollections of VE Day and the impact on the families and their lives. There was a sense of eternal gratitude and due honour for all those that we remember on this day.

A cream tea was enjoyed by all.

Natasha King, General Manager at Sycamore Grove said: “Many of our residents can remember the end of the war and we all know what it meant for our country so we wanted to celebrate the date and listen to our residents’ memories of the war and the experiences they lived through.”

Sycamore Grove is run by Barchester Healthcare, one of the UK’s largest care providers, which is committed to delivering high-quality care across its care homes and hospitals. Sycamore Grove provides dementia care, residential care, respite care.
