Single Thornhill Manor retirement village residents were recently treated to tea and treats by the Chapel Committee.
“The residents were spoilt with delicious treats and enjoyed each other’s company, getting to know each other.
“This time we had a bigger turnout, and more connections were made,” says Thornhill Manor’s social worker Karen Griessel.
Amanda Brown, who is passionate about playing the organ and piano, entertained everyone with her beautiful background music.
Charles Power and Amanda also performed a heartfelt piece by unpacking the Lord’s prayer.
“Social engagement is vital, especially for single older adults as it contributes to overall well-being.
“Engaging in social activities not only provides companionship but also positively impacts mental and physical health,” says Karen.
“Thank you to the Chapel Committee for their big hearts in caring for their village residents,” she adds.
