Beech Lodge Care and Nursing Home resident Brenda Mitchell got to reunite with one of her oldest friends this week as part of Country Court’s Make a Wish initiative.
Residents at the Holbeach home are given the opportunity to tell staff about somewhere they have always wanted to go or a special activity they always wanted to do.
Brenda spoke to staff about her good friend Mary.
Brenda and Mary are close friends that speak every week and have supported each other through a lot the past few years, but due to lockdowns and health issues, they hadn’t seen each other in person for two years.
Brenda’s birthday wish was to visit her friend Mary, so staff at Beech Lodge Care and Nursing Home arranged the trip to Mary’s house in Sporle, Norfolk where they enjoyed a lovely day of catching up.
A spokesman for Country Court, said: “They spent time looking through photos of family occasions, reminiscing about when they met and their joint friends and of course there was cake!
“This was a great opportunity to celebrate the International Day of Friendship (July 30), which coordinates activities and events that celebrate the friendships that we keep close to us.”
