Residents, families, and staff came together at Oak Lodge to celebrate ‘arts’ across our Forest Care homes with a theme of ‘reflections’. This event showcased creativity in diverse ways from painting, crafts, knitting and photography, to Irish and Indian dance, music, poetry, creative writing, and martial arts. ‘Arts’ in care homes greatly helps the wellbeing of residents, at Forest Care we continuously look at ways we can bring arts to our homes.

Forest Care tries to make it a little easier by providing exceptional care and a homely environment that our residents and their loved ones would wish for.
