One of 17 Infinite Care homes across the nation taking part in the event, each home went all out for their communities with several managers even dressing up as giant bears for the occasion.
There were competitions for the oldest, funniest, biggest, smallest, most colourful and most international bear, with the aim of the event to build on existing intergenerational relationships.
Touted to now become an annual Infinite Care date on the calendar based on its success, Joint Managing Director Chris Stride said the event provided a sense of belonging and unity for staff, residents and extended family.
“After being so affected by lockdowns over the last three years, we are all so pleased to see our homes filled with children and families again as it means so much to our residents and their sense of wellbeing.”
