Mother's Day at Astor Court

We have celebrated Mothers/Mams/Mums with lots of conversations, some brought laughter and others tears, but it was so lovely to be able to provoke such good memories of our mums, those special ladies who made our childhood great. This was displayed in the lodge, with quotes from our lovely residents, things such as "I had what I'd call a real Mam" or she always smelt of talc were some of the memories. Other memories were a little more emotional as one of our residents never remembers her own mother, as she passed when she was young, but has so many special memories with her dad. All of our ladies were given a Mother's Day Card from the staff, and we spent Sunday receiving gifts from families and chatting to our residents about how special it is to be a mother.
