A Lovely Romantic Valentines Day at Bank Close House

Our Residents enjoyed making crafts and cards for Valentine’s Day, which are all proudly displayed in the main hall-way.

Staff set up a table in the Conservatory for John to have his lunch with his wife Maureen. They both enjoyed a glass of wine together and Maureen was overwhelmed when John handed her his Valentine’s card.

All the residents had a glass of fizz and chocolates during the day to celebrate.
