Making fruit kebabs

You Have a Friend in Us!

Moving into a care home can be a tricky decision, not only for prospective residents but also for their families and loved ones. At Springvale Care Home, we understand this emotional transition, which is why we focus on creating a welcoming, supportive environment where every resident feels valued and connected to the rest of the community at Springvale. 

One of the most important things we do at Springvale is build relationships and friendships within the home. We believe that a strong community fosters comfort, belonging, and happiness, and this past month has been full of moments that have brought our residents closer together and enabled all of us to get out and about in the local area in Lennoxtown.

Building Friendships and Community at Springvale Care Home

Our residents have enjoyed a series of local outings—from peaceful walks to visits to nearby cafes—giving everyone the chance to share new experiences and create lasting bonds. This month we've enjoyed a little wander in the late summer sunshine with a pit stop for tea and cake. We also had a ball making tropical fruit kebabs in the Primrose Unit.

We also enjoyed a lovely afternoon last week at the Royal Concert Hall Glasgow for a relaxed performance, where all our residents enjoyed singing and dancing along whilst having a spot of lunch.

These excursions not only provide opportunities for socializing but also help residents stay active and engaged with the local community.

Whether it's a quiet chat over tea (or a cold beer for Mr B!) while enjoying a spot of sunshine in Springvale's garden before the autumn months arrive, a group trip out, or shared laughter during a fun activity, these moments of social connection are what make Springvale more than just a place to live—it’s a home where social relationships thrive.

We’re proud of the support and companionship we see every day at Springvale, and we look forward to continuing to build a community where every resident feels at home, surrounded by friends.
