AWARD-WINNING NURSING HOME OPENS UP ITS DOORS DURING LONELINESS AWARENESS WEEK
AN award-winning Derby nursing home is opening up its doors for lunch and games sessions for the wider community to enjoy alongside residents.
Brookfields Private Nursing Home in Burton Road is offering people the chance to enjoy a three-course lunch prepared by its experienced chef, before staying on with residents to chat and enjoy an afternoon of game-playing and company.
The home is opening its sessions on three days a week from Tuesday to Thursday. The project is starting during Loneliness Awareness Week which begins today.
Visitors on Tuesday will be able to get their dabbers ready for bingo after lunch, while Thursday's attendees will enjoy a game of “Play Your Cards Right” made famous on TV in the 1980s.
The Wednesday session includes Brookfields' legendary cutthroat quiz - in which residents and staff are divided into two teams and their general knowledge put to the test by the home's “quizmaster” Georgia Parsisson.
