Robin, one of the men living at Etheldred House Care Home in Histon, was recently able to live out his seaside dream.
Robin has been talking to the team for a while about his wish to go on holiday. As they spoke about it more and they got into more detail, the team realised that his dream holiday was the seaside. He dreamed of fish and chips, ice cream and 2p slot machines, so the team did their best to make this a reality.
Due to some medical restraints, Robin must always have a nurse close by, and he thought this would prevent him from ever seeing the seaside again. However, the Etheldred team simply made sure the trip was planned in great detail, still able to go ahead with Robin and his nurse.
Robin was joined by Flory, who often visits the home and has become good friends with Robin during her visits. Flory was thrilled to be going on the trip as she and her husband used to enjoy many trips to the seaside in their youth.
Both Robin and Flory had a lovely day with many wonderful new memories made. The team were so happy to see Robin live his dream and hope to plan more days out in the future.
