Residents like to be beside the seaside

A care home in Balcombe is set to bring all the fun of the seaside to its residents by recreating a day at the coast in its grounds.

Russettings Care Home is set to hold a seaside themed day on Monday (JUL 13).

Staff will build a beach complete with deckchairs, parasols and buckets and spades at the Mill Lane home.

Residents will enjoy a fish and chip lunch before having a sing-a-long to their favourite holiday tunes.

Other activities planned for the day include a Punch and Judy show and ice creams.

Mandy Mulvaney, the home’s activities coordinator, said everyone at the home was looking forward to the event.

“We often take our residents to the beach but we decided to bring the seaside to the care home to enable everyone to enjoy a day out without having to leave the grounds,” she said.

“It is going to be a great day and should be lots of fun for everyone involved.”
