We can’t shy away from the fact that this may be the most unusual Easter weekend we will have experienced in our lifetimes. So, as a little Easter treat from us, we are shining a spotlight on one of our services making wonderful efforts this weekend (and always) and offering you a reflection of hope.
Easter weekend at Livability Treetops
This week residents have been busy with crafty hands, with support from Lee, creating this magnificent Easter art display – including Michelle and Ben here.
The art project has been a great inclusive, and indoor, activity which has encouraged a few individuals who historically don’t take part to get involved, which is great to see.
The Easter fun doesn’t stop there … over the weekend the residents at Livability Treetops will be making chocolate eggs, planting some spring bulbs in the garden and watching Easter-themed films together.
Connecting with family, friends and faith
On Easter Sunday morning, residents will be tuning in to an online live sermon broadcast from the local church, set up for those at Livability Treetops that want to celebrate. This certainly will be a new experience of church for many, but we are excited by the opportunities to join in worship.
With the usual visitors remaining at home, support workers will be facilitating video chats with residents’ family and friends to ensure they are connected to those they love on this special holiday.
Video chats are now pretty much a daily occurrence at Livability Treetops and are a great way to connect. Lee, activity assistant, says: ‘The value of doing this for the residents is immeasurable, and the shock on their faces when they see their loved ones talking to them on a phone screen is priceless, especially for those without prior familiarity with this kind of technology.’
This is just one example of our many care services across the UK that are doing similar activities and enabling connections for people we support. None of this would be possible without our dedicated key workers and frontline staff, so please join us in taking a moment to thank them.
