Storybook Magic: Winnie the Pooh Lunch Delights Edenmore Residents
What began as a simple Mad Hatter’s Tea Party for World Book Lovers Day in 2024 has led to the creation of The Edenmore Book Club, led by Home Admin Sarah Dullaghan, offering moments of connection and comfort for residents at the Ilfracombe care home.
Each book club meeting involves Sarah reading a chapter of a book aloud, surrounded by themed decorations and food throughout the home that the whole team get involved with! In the past, family members have enjoyed timeless classics such as Peter Rabbit, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and Paddington, with the latest example being Winnie the Pooh for World Book Day.
More Than Just a Book Club
The Edenmore Book Club is about more than just reading, it’s a space for sharing stories, reminiscing, and creating meaningful moments together. Held in the main lounge, it remains easily accessible to all, where family members can choose to be involved in the activities, reinforcing the home’s commitment to recognising the values, beliefs, and identity of each person who calls Edenmore Nursing Home their home.
