John walked to Barshaw Park at 100 Years Young, Kingsley Care Home, Glasgow | Care Home Open Week
At 100 years young, John laced up his shoes and walked to Barshaw Park and back πΆββοΈ
After having to reschedule because of the weather, our residents finally completed their sponsored walk on Monday, and right at the heart of it was John, who turned 100 in December. He didn't just take part. He completed the whole walk to Barshaw Park and back.
And the rest of the day was just as wonderful. A World Cup-themed afternoon tea with residents designing their own football strips, having a go at wordsearches and "guess the country", and taste-testing foods from across the world. There were strong opinions on which dishes were favourites and which absolutely weren't.
On Tuesday, the team sat down for one-to-one chats with residents about the World Cup, who they want to win, who they really donβt, favourite kits and memories from World Cups gone by.
Yesterday morning brought an exercise class to keep everyone fit and strong; the Scotland v Haiti highlights were playing in the lounge.
Our home, Kingsley in Glasgow, is open every day this week as part of Care Home Open Week. We would warmly welcome families considering care for someone they love.
