Sidmouth Care Home Celebrates VE Day

A residential care home near Sidmouth marked the 81st Anniversary of VE Day with their own afternoon celebration, bringing together relatives, friends and family members (residents) for music, singing and a traditional cream tea.

Sundial Care Home’s Chef, Jayne, prepared fresh homemade scones served with cream and jam, alongside a Union Jack cheesecake decorated by House Lead, Husna, with strawberries and blueberries. The celebration also included a selection of nibbles and traditional refreshments, including cream soda and dandelion & burdock.

Family members, loved ones and the team spent the afternoon singing, waving flags and reminiscing together as karaoke, organised by Care Assistants Jane and Rotsen, filled the home with old favourite songs. Many joined in throughout the celebration, creating a lively atmosphere full of laughter, conversation and shared moments.

“It was a lovely tea party” shared another team member. “Everyone really loved the scones.”

The event was held in recognition of both past and present veterans connected to Sundial Care Home, while giving people the opportunity to reflect, reminisce and enjoy the British traditions associated with VE Day together.
