Wimbledon joy served at York care Home

Residents at the care home rallied together for their own fun-filled version of tennis, using rackets and balloons to create a safe and inclusive game that had everyone laughing and cheering. The event, affectionately named “Anyone for Tennis?”, saw Mossdale’s ladies leading the charge, embracing the excitement of the tournament with energy and enthusiasm.

Throughout the Wimbledon fortnight, residents watched live matches together, shared afternoon teas, and took part in themed quizzes and crafts, all while celebrating their favourite players and soaking in the tournament atmosphere.

Home Manager at HC-One’s Mossdale Residence Care Home, Julie Banks said:

"It’s been a wonderful fortnight here at Mossdale. Our residents have absolutely loved being part of the Wimbledon buzz, from balloon tennis to cheering during the finals. It’s created such a positive and uplifting atmosphere throughout the home.

"We wanted to make Wimbledon a special experience for everyone, and seeing the joy it brought was truly heartwarming. The ladies especially enjoyed getting active and having a go with our tennis balloons, there were some impressive volleys!"

Residents also marked the finals weekend with a traditional strawberries and cream celebration, toasting the champions while reminiscing about favourite matches from past and present.
