Pen Pals Near & Far at Acorn House

Acorn House have recently been asked to join a group called elderly friends. They received their first package from them last week, which the residents really appreciated. In the parcel was a jigsaw puzzle, a pack of playing cards and a colouring book and pens and also lots of hand written cards and messages from people in our local community.

The residents loved reading these and really appreciated that there are people out there that care enough to write and send gifts. The homes is on their monthly list to receive cards and gifts for the residents, so that is something nice for them to look forward to.

The residents are also sending and receiving cards to/from Thorntree Mews, one of our sister homes in Falkirk, which everyone really enjoy. As another activity we looked at Thorntree Mews and the area on the internet, so our residents know where it is and what it's like; they were very interested to see this.
