Surrey care home residents celebrate Spanish culture day with food, music and fun

Residents at HC-One’s Adelaide House Care Home, in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, were transported to the sunny streets of Spain this month as part of their cultural exploration series.

With Spain selected as the country of the month, the home came alive with the flavours, sounds and spirit of Spanish tradition. The celebration featured a delicious spread of authentic Spanish cuisine from tapas-style dishes to sweet treats.

Adelaide House also enjoyed a special performance, which had residents clapping and singing along – most notably to a heart-warming rendition of Doris Day’s classic “Que Sera, Sera” (Whatever Will Be, Will Be).

Following the musical interlude, residents took part in an engaging Spain-themed quiz, testing their knowledge of Spanish geography, culture and history in a light-hearted afternoon of fun and laughter.

“Wellbeing is all about connection, joy and discovery – and Spanish Culture Day was the perfect example of that. It was wonderful to see residents smiling, singing, and sharing stories over great food and music.”
