Beaming Faces After Another Joyful Visit from St Agnes Pre-School

Earlier this month, Lear House was once again filled with the sound of laughter, music and movement as we welcomed back the delightful children from St Agnes Pre-School Group. Their visits are always a highlight in our calendar and this one was no exception. It was an afternoon bursting with fun, colour and connection.

With balloons bouncing, bubbles floating and colourful scarves twirling through the air, it was impossible not to smile. The children brought boundless energy, while our residents brought their usual warmth and enthusiasm. Together, they created a safe and social setting for ageing well. A real celebration of the joy that can be found in community-led care in Merseyside.

It’s these special intergenerational moments that truly capture what life at Abbeyfield Hoylake & West Kirby is all about. Caring for older people with dignity and respect, while keeping hearts and minds active with life-enriching activities for older adults. There’s something truly magical about seeing children and residents giggling over a shared game or dancing along to a favourite tune.

Whether it was waving scarves, chasing bubbles or simply enjoying a moment of calm with a balloon in hand, everyone joined in at their own pace. Our ethos is always about elderly support tailored to individual needs, allowing everyone to participate in a way that feels right for them. That’s the beauty of personalised care for older residents – it turns ordinary afternoons into extraordinary memories.

We love creating a homely environment for later life, where moments of joy happen naturally. Visits like this one remind us that care isn’t just about support. It’s about connection, laughter and being part of something bigger.
