Mayflower goes Green for a Day
Mayflower Brighton was a sea of green last week as residents came together to celebrate St Patrick’s Day. Saint Patrick's Day, or the Feast of Saint Patrick, is held on the 17 March each year, and serves as a tribute to Ireland and its foremost patron saint. The day is enjoyed around the globe with people dressing in green and displaying shamrocks.
Our aged care residents kicked up their heels with St Patrick’s Day festivities taking place at a special themed happy hour. The resident lounge sparkled with Irish fortune, with Irish hats, shamrocks and green lemonade setting the scene for merriment. Everyone got into the spirit of the day, dressing in green and kicking up their heels to the delightful sounds of traditional Irish folk music from entertainer Les.
Celebrating St. Patrick’s Day at Mayflower Brighton Residential Aged Care is a cherished tradition, filled with joy, music, and plenty of Irish spirit. Residents come together to enjoy festive decorations, lively entertainment, and delicious treats inspired by the Emerald Isle. Events like these are more than just fun, they also provide vital opportunities for social interaction, helping residents connect, reminisce, and foster a strong sense of community.
Keeping traditions alive in aged care is essential for maintaining emotional well-being and a sense of familiarity. St. Patrick's Day festivities offer a chance to reflect on cultural heritage, while also creating new memories to cherish. These celebrations bring everyone together, including residents, staff, and their families. These activities emphasise the importance of joyful moments and shared traditions at every stage of life.
