The people living at Glennfield Care Home recently received a generous donation of hats from a local company, The Hat Box.
The Hat Box sells a variety of hats for different occasions, from large extravagant hats to those for more formal occasions. The lady who owns the hat shop was expecting a large collection of new hats into her shop, so to make some space, she decided to donate some of her hats to the people who live at Glennfield.
When the hats arrived, Lifestyle Coordinator, Katie put them onto a trolley and took them around the home so people could try them on. Residents were excited to see the variety of hats and had fun together as they each put the different hats on.
Each hat helped to bring back happy memories for many different occasions. Many of the larger, more fancy hats, brought back memories of weddings people had attended in the past, whilst the more extravagant hats brought back memories from special occasions like Royal Ascot.
Each of the hats sparked lots of conversation and made for a fun day as people wore them around the home and received compliments from their friends.
The hats have now been placed in communal areas, so people can wear them at any time.
We’d like to say a big thank you to The Hat Box for this very kind donation – it made for a fun and exciting day at Glennfield.
