The people living at Neath House Care Home in Milton Keynes are celebrating Valentine’s Day this year by sharing some ‘lovers’ advice’ with the younger generations.
Residents of the care home are full of wisdom and love sharing life advice with the younger generations whenever they get the opportunity.
With Valentine’s Day upon us, the team at Neath House asked the people who live there if they had any advice for a long and happy love life. This question prompted conversations among the team and residents, so they asked everyone to write down their lover’s advice on a piece of paper and pose for a picture holding it.
Residents enjoyed taking part in this activity and as they wrote down their advice, they shared connected stories and memories from their lives. This included stories of previous relationships and lessons they learned, as well as advice about what made the long-term relationships with their partners so successful.
Lifestyle Coordinator, Fiona who has been happily married for 30 years said her secret to a long marriage is ‘having your own interests’. Everyone enjoyed listening to the advice and having a laugh in the process.
It was a heart-warming day sharing advice for all the lovers out there and reminiscing together.
Happy Valentine’s Day from everyone at Neath House!
