Willows Care Home in Romford, have been joined by the enthusiastic McDonald’s community group to help support them in the re-decoration of their dementia unit. The group frequently hold events and support the community in a number of ways and when the opportunity to help a local care home along, they jumped at the chance.

Team Leader of the group said “As soon as I met the Home Manager Tony, and Head of Activities Elaine I instantly knew I wanted to work with them. They had some great ideas, and we’re really excited to work with them on a number of projects coming up in 2019.”

This week the team have painted the corridors of the dementia unit and applied vinyl’s to the walls, to create an interactive experience for our residents. The colours have also been specially selected to ensure this brings a sense of calm and relaxation across the unit.

The group went on to say “We had a great day at Willows, we really hope this has brought the unit to life for the residents. Kindness doesn’t cost a thing!”

Home Manager Tony added “It’s been fantastic to have the community group from McDonald’s here at Willows, they have come with so much enthusiasm and we’re looking forward to them joining us again to help with our garden project later on in the year.”
