Christmas Day at Charlotte Straker House

We had a lovely Christmas Day at Charlotte Straker House. We asked each resident how they preferred to celebrate Christmas and helped them meet visitors and keep in touch with family and friends. Our hard working kitchen team pulled out the stops with a traditional roast turkey dinner with all the trimmings, followed by Christmas pudding and brandy butter. The atmosphere in Charlotte Straker House is always lovely, especially at Christmas time!
All the staff worked really hard to make it special for the residents this year, with decorations, glitter and lights and there were Christmas carols on in the background, which we all loved to sing along to. On Christmas Day, the residents were all given a carefully chosen individual Christmas present. Seeing their faces light up is what it’s all about. Our residents have shown us that you’re never too old to get excited for Christmas.
