Fit for a King: Getting Your Care Home Ready for the Coronation
Creating a fun, nurturing and inclusive environment is essential within care homes. Not only does it allow residents and staff to feel at ease, but it can also help to improve morale, inspire happiness and build enduring relationships.
As we approach the coronation of King Charles III, millions of people across the country will be coming together to celebrate. With communities across England and the rest of the world uniting in commemoration, it is equally important for care homes to join in the festivities, creating regal environments for residents and visitors to enjoy even beyond the coronation!
Prepare Your Care Home for the Coronation
As we get older, it is easy to become socially isolated. In a recent study, Age UK found that 1.4 million older people in the UK are often lonely. With this in mind, care home owners must support and foster communities that bring residents, visitors and staff together, helping to create one big (royal) family.
One way to achieve this is through events, parties and activities designed to encourage, entertain and delight your residents. Considering this, here are some ways you can bring the coronation celebrations into your care home for those who may even remember the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II back in 1953.
Why not embellish your space with patriotic colours and banners to help get residents into the spirit of the celebration? With splashes of red, white and blue bunting and flags, you could also enforce a colour-coordinated dress code so that everyone can get involved.
Craft activities can also be a great way for residents to engage with the king’s coronation whilst having a positive impact on their social, motor and cognitive skills. Activities such as colouring, painting and knitting can be excellent ways to bring residents together, encouraging them to communicate and remain active.
