🪔🪔🪔🪔Why We Celebrate Diwali🪔🪔🪔

Diwali, also known as the Festival of Lights, is one of the most joyful celebrations in India and around the world. It is a time when families and friends come together to share happiness, light lamps, eat delicious food, and enjoy music and dancing.

The lights and candles remind us that light always wins over darkness, and goodness overcomes negativity. People decorate their homes, wear colourful clothes, and share sweets to spread love and hope.

For many, Diwali also marks new beginnings — a time to forgive, to be thankful, and to wish for peace and happiness for everyone.

At Prince of Wales Nursing Home, we celebrate Diwali together to share these lovely traditions, bring smiles, and make our home shine bright with warmth, kindness, and togetherness.

I don’t often share here, but lately I’ve been reflecting on the moments in care that really stay with you — the kind that remind you why we do this work.

At Prince of Wales, we’ve always valued real connection — long before “social value” became a buzzword.

🎓 For over 15 years, I’ve worked with Solihull College & University Centre, supporting Health & Social Care students through placements.

Through the Solihull Managers’ Forum, which I’ve led for 9 years, I’ve also helped connect other care homes across the borough with the college.

🧑‍🎓 We welcomed young adults from Calthorpe Academy (pre-Covid), and supported them and in addition their visits brought energy and joy into our home.

🏫 Our ongoing partnership with Peterbrook Primary School has been just as special — seeing our residents light up as they sing, paint, and connect with the children is always a highlight.

👶 We’ve also worked with nursery-aged children, and after a recent visit, we’re excited to rebuild that link again.

💬 These connections lift our residents, re-energise our staff, and bring peace of mind to families — reminding us that care is about more than routines; it’s about community.

❤️ These are the moments that matter. I’ll be sharing more in the months ahead — and always open to connect or collaborate with others who value care, purpose, and people.
