Stirling care home hosts St Andrew’s Day celebrations

Residents and team members at HC-One’s Forthbank care home in Kildean flew the Scottish flag with pride as they celebrated St Andrew’s Day on Saturday 30th November.

Residents enjoyed a traditional bag pipe performance followed by Scottish themed lunch with live entertainment, everyone agreed that it was a lovely way to celebrate their country’s patron saint.

Yvonne Graham, Home Manager at Forthbank said: “It is very important for us to respect and encourage traditions and we knew a day of importance such as this for our Residents, was worthy of a celebration.

“The celebration was enjoyable for everyone that attended and the Residents particularly enjoyed welcoming guests into their home.”
