Wimbledon hits MHA Cedar Lodge with residents playing balloon tennis and eating strawberries and cream

The flavour of Wimbledon hit MHA Cedar Lodge with residents playing their own version of tennis and tucking into some typical Wimbledon food items.

The Warwickshire home held a Wimbledon themed afternoon at the home with residents playing some balloon tennis and having strawberries and cream with Pimm’s.

Residents watched the final which was won by Carlos Alcaraz and enjoyed the event.

The home provides residential, nursing and residential dementia care for 47 residents.

Anne Hemming, activity coordinator said: “We have always done something for Wimbledon and it's something that always gets the residents interested.

“The day began with some balloon tennis which was the perfect way to get everyone going.

“There are a few tennis fans in the home, but the final managed to get everyone's attention.

“Some of the residents watched the final in their rooms, but we managed to get most of them to watch it together in one of our lounges.

“It was a great final and it was great to see the level of concentration from residents  when they were watching the game.

“I want to thank our head chef Kevin for preparing the food and drinks for everyone to enjoy and it was a great day.”
