A Blooming Good Day at Yarnton Garden Centre for Floryn House Resident

At Floryn House Care Home, we believe in turning wishes into reality. This month, our "You Said, We Did" initiative brought a special smile to resident Len's face as we fulfilled his desire for a trip to the local Yarnton Garden Centre.

Nurturing Memories and Passions

A casual conversation between Len and Home Manager Chelle Daly revealed Len's fondness for garden centres. He reminisced about spending happy hours tending his garden with his wife, and how he missed the simple pleasure of browsing plants and watching fish in an aquarium. With a twinkle in his eye, Len asked if a visit to the garden centre would be possible.

Chelle and the team at Floryn House were more than happy to oblige. "At Floryn House, we're committed to person-centred care," Chelle explained. "This means not only meeting our residents' care needs but also supporting their emotional and social well-being. Len's request was a perfect opportunity to do just that."

A Day of Sensory Delights and Social Connection

The trip to Yarnton Garden Centre was a delightful experience for Len. He spent the morning exploring the colourful displays, touching and smelling the flowers, and reminiscing about his own garden. He also took great joy in observing the fish in the aquarium and sharing stories about his own fish tank at home.

Later, Len and his carer, Victoria, enjoyed a relaxing coffee and cake in the bustling café. Len specifically requested a seat where he could watch people and be a part of the lively atmosphere.

A Ripple Effect of Joy

The outing had a profound impact on Len's mood and overall well-being. "Len's smile was infectious throughout the entire trip," Victoria shared. "He was so happy with his chosen plants and couldn't wait to get back to the care home and start potting them on his patio!"
