Activities at Station Court Care Home

Residents and staff members had a ‘De Pelos’ day celebrating Mexican Independence Day. Residents took to their armchairs exploring the beautiful country, heightening the virtual experience with inspired Mexican scents. Fun was had by everyone sharing interesting facts of the country taking part in a themed quiz, playing pin the tail and listening to traditional Mexican music .

Amigos came together to enjoy a Mexican themed feast, created by Head Chef, Dave Thompson. Dishes of paprika pork, pepper chicken fajitas or chilli-con-carne were thoroughly enjoyed taking taste buds to the country too.
