Call 023 8084 9310 or email: info@ badgersholtresidential. co.uk Six Bupa Care Homes across Southampton have put out a festive plea to their local community to send in messages of yuletide cheer to residents and sta this Christmas. Receiving a Christmas card is a great way to boost morale, wellbeing and a sense of belonging, which is why the Bupa care home teams across Southampton are calling on their local communities to help spread some joy and rally a sense of togetherness during the festive period. Hoping to make residents feel more connected to their local communities, the cards received will be opened and placed around each home for everyone to read and enjoy. When asked what it means to care home residents to receive a Christmas card, Alan Brown, Regional Director at Bupa, commented: “Sending and receiving cards is a tradition that many of our residents’ love, so this Christmas we wanted to make the winter season extra special by calling on our local communities to surprise our residents with lots of lovely cards.” Alan Brown continued: “We know that receiving a card full of festive well wishes would really mean the world to our residents this year. It’s a small gesture of kindness which would have such a positive impact, providing residents with a great sense of warmth, support, and togetherness – the ultimate definition of festive cheer!” e care home teams have also called out for Christmas cards with the knowledge that, whilst Christmas is a time for joy and family, it can sometimes be an emotional time for those re ecting on loved ones who have passed. Alan Brown added: “At Bupa we are committed to making every day as happy as possible, but we are also aware that some days are harder for those residents who don’t have relatives to share celebrations with. That’s why this Christmas, we aim to receive enough cards so that each resident feels extra loved and special.” Alan Brown concluded: “We know how wonderful our local community is and are hopeful that people will come together in a show of festive spirit to boost everyone’s moods in the homes and make it an even merrier Christmas.” Anyone wishing to send a Christmas card to their local Bupa Care Home can post them to the following addresses: • Knights Grove Bupa Care Home, Thomas Road, North Baddesley, Southampton, SO52 9EW • Northlands House Bupa Care Home, 6 Westrow Road, Southampton, SO15 2LY • Oak Lodge Bupa Care Home, 45 Freemantle Common Road, Bitterne, Southampton SO19 7NG • Wilton Manor Bupa Care Home, Wilton Avenue, Southampton, SO15 2HA • Maypole Bupa Care Home, 99 Lower Northam Road, Hedge End, Southampton, SO30 4FS • Ashley Lodge Bupa Care Home, Golden Hill, Ashley Ln, New Milton BH25 5AH Bupa Care Homes situated in Southampton welcome residents in need of nursing, residential and dementia care.
