In the season of giving, an Oxfordshire care home has issued an appeal asking kind-hearted members of the public to send its residents Christmas cards.
 
Featherton House care home, in Deddington, has launched the Christmas card campaign to strengthen the home’s sense of community and relationship with the local area, as well as so it can display the festive cards around the home.
 
As part of the initiative, Featherton House care home has asked for the public to include a short message about their plans this Christmas inside the card for the residents to read and discuss.
 
Pam West, 83, resident at Featherton House care home, said: “I’m really looking forward to receiving the cards and I’m particularly eager to hear about everyone’s plans. Everyone has their own traditions at Christmas and it will be great to hear about what everyone is getting up to.”
 
Rachel Freeman, Home Manager at Featherton House care home, said: “Christmas is always a fun time here at Featherton. The home is always full of residents’ friends and families, as well as having lots of lovely decorations.
 
“We are all looking forward to receiving cards from our local community and can’t wait to display them around the home.”
 
You can send Christmas cards to Featherton House at Chapel Square, Deddington, OX15 0QW.
 
Featherton House is part of Wren Retirement Living and is currently managed by Healthcare Management Solutions.
