✨ Elf Day at Hastings Court Care Home! ✨
Today our home was taken over by a team of very mischievous elves! 🎅🧝‍♀️🧝‍♂️

Our wonderful staff got fully into the festive spirit, dressing up in their best elf outfits and spreading Christmas cheer throughout the home. The fun didn’t stop there — our residents joined in for the Elf Olympics, where laughter filled the room as they took on a series of silly (but seriously fun!) games.

From the “Race the Wind-Up Toy” challenge to the ever-popular “Eat the Doughnut” contest, everyone had a fantastic time. The competitive elf energy was high, but the smiles were even higher! 😂❤️

A huge well done to all our residents and staff who took part — thank you for making Elf Day magical! ✨🎄

🎄💌 Spreading Christmas Cheer at Hastings Court 💌🎄

Christmas is always a time where we are reminded just how magical our community can be. The wonderful team at Five Dollar Shake , our talented local card designers and printers, generously donated their time and their beautifully crafted cards to help our residents write heartfelt Christmas messages for their families and friends.

The room was filled with laughter, memories, and a whole lot of sparkle as residents shared stories, chose their favourite designs, and penned messages that will mean the world to their loved ones.

A huge thank you to this beautiful company for bringing so much joy, creativity, and festive spirit into Hastings Court. Your kindness made this Christmas activity truly special — and the smiles said it all. ❤️✨

Here’s to community, connection, and moments that warm the heart. 🎅🏼🌟

✨ A HUGE thank you to the wonderful children of Claremont School! ✨

Today they filled Hastings Court Care Home with Christmas cheer — treating our residents to beautiful singing and gifting them the most thoughtful handmade ornaments. 🎄❤️

Our residents were absolutely delighted, and the joy and energy the children brought into our home truly made the day feel magical. Moments like these mean so much to us all.

Thank you, Claremont School, for your kindness, creativity, and festive spirit. We can’t wait to welcome you back again in the new year ⭐

🍽️ Dining at Hastings Court 🍽️

At Hastings Court Care Home, we believe mealtimes should be about more than just great food — they should bring comfort, connection, and choice.

Sharing meals with others can bring so many benefits — boosting wellbeing, sparking conversation, and creating a sense of belonging. We love seeing friendships grow over a cup of tea or a home-cooked lunch.

🌟 But choice always comes first.
If a resident prefers to enjoy their meals in the privacy of their own bedroom, we’re delighted to support them. Comfort and dignity are at the heart of everything we do.

At Hastings Court, every dining experience is shaped around the individual — because this is their home. ❤️
