Residents at a Southampton care home have been given a handmade game donated by the family of a former resident.

Staff and residents at South Haven Lodge in Woolston, Southampton, have been paying tribute to and remembering former resident Pamela O’Neill, who sadly passed away in 2018.

Pamela, who lived at the home for three years, was described as a fun-loving and family-orientated lady by those that cared for her.

To thank South Haven Lodge staff and residents for the love and care they showed to Pamela over the past three years, Pamela's family decided to pay tribute to her fun-loving nature and donated a handmade game for the residents to enjoy.

Mike, Pamela’s brother, made the Play Your Cards Right game himself, inspired by the popular 80’s TV show, hosted by Bruce Forsyth.

The family also raised money, which they donated to the home. This will be used to book a local entertainer, where residents will be treated to an afternoon of a 1960’s themed show, with staff joining in with beehive hairdos to pay their own respects.

Becky O’Neill, Home Administrator at South Haven Lodge, said: “Pamela will be very much missed. She was great fun and there was never a dull moment without her.

“We want to thank Pamela’s family again for their fantastic donations – residents and staff are already making the most of the Play Your Cards Right game!”

South Haven Lodge care home is part of the New Century Care group, an expert national care provider specialising in residential, nursing and dementia care, providing fulfilling lives to residents in a happy and homely setting.
