Residents at Arplemere care home in Warrington came together in appreciation this International Hug Day by creating heartfelt “Hug in a Mug” gifts for healthcare professionals.
The thoughtful initiative saw residents pair beautiful mugs filled with coffee, hot chocolate and sweet treats, designed to deliver a comforting message of thanks to the local hardworking health and social care teams, including Chapelford GP practice.
Resident Mary Dolan said, “Thank you to all doctors and nurses for your kind, compassionate care. We are often quick to notice the challenges, but it’s just as important to say thank you. Your dedication and service are truly appreciated.”
Laura Aspin, the General Manager at Arplemere, added, “International Hug Day is about connection and compassion, and this was a wonderful way to recognise the incredible work our local doctors and nurses do every day.
“Small gestures like these can make a big difference, and we are delighted to be able to say thank you on behalf of everyone at Arplemere.”
You can find out more about community initiatives at Arplemere during the home’s weekly Wine-Down Wednesday event, where all are welcome to join residents for a relaxing afternoon of wine and cheese. Other refreshments are available.
