Local Business Makes Residents’ Christmas Wish Come True

Resident at Ashfields Care Home had a lovely surprise when local business Crown commercial services delivered lots of gifts for all the residents.

Staff at Ashfields said ‘we have had the most amazing visit from Crown Commercial this afternoon delivering some wonderful Christmas presents with Santa. We were approached by Crown Commercial Services asking if we would be ok accepting some Secret Santa presents from their wonderful team. We were so delighted and proud to be considered. ‘Santa came and delivered the presents to the residents and went round the rooms and the look on the resident’s faces was truly priceless. What a wonderful afternoon’

In response to this wonderful surprise, a resident, said: “I was on the verge of tears. It is such an amazing feeling to know that such a loving group of people care so much about me – and I didn’t even ask.”

Raaj Purohit, General Manager at the home, said: “We believe that every moment is worth cherishing, especially at this time of the year. It was wonderful to see how happy residents were – and the staff loved being a part of this as well.”
