Hastings Court Care Home is helping tackle loneliness this Christmas Day by opening its doors to welcome isolated members of the community

This Christmas, Hastings Court is opening its doors to welcome isolated members of the community for Christmas lunch. Hastings Court is asking locals and organisations supporting the town’s older people to nominate individuals who may face spending the festive season alone.

Home Manager, Georgina Gamble said: “We know there will be many people who don’t have anyone to spend the day with. We would like to invite a small number of people to come into our home and have lunch with us. We will celebrate with a traditional Christmas dinner, mince pies and maybe a glass of something too!”

The home will also be visited by Father Christmas and his helpers on the 25th December who’ll be handing out gifts. There will be traditional festive music and the Queen’s Speech will be shown in the home’s cinema room.

To nominate someone for lunch at Hastings Court, contact Kimberley Mann at lifestyles.hc@oaklandcare.com or call 01424 755151.
