A Stockport based care home got into the party spirit with a themed menu and quiz night for St Patrick’s Day.
Staff at MHA Connel Court organised a special St Patrick’s Day menu which included Irish coddle pork in cider with colcannon and Dublin Bay prawn risotto.
The food was washed down with either Guinness or Baileys, and was enjoyed by residents and staff.
The home provides residential care for up to 37 residents in purpose-built, en suite accommodation.
Jennifer McCulloch, admin manager said: “We try to make sure we cover all the themes in the home to make sure our residents don’t miss out on anything.
“Aside from the general days we even make our own up and it goes down really well with the residents.
“We always try to decorate the dining room as much as we can as it’s nice for our residents to see, and nice for our residents who don’t normally get involved.
“St Patrick’s Day was celebrated with great joy, our dining room was specifically decorated for the theme with Irish flags on display and on tables with the Irish green theme running throughout.
“Our residents loved celebrating St Patrick’s Day and we do feel it is important to showcase these events within the home.
“We had a quiz based on all things Ireland and it was a great way to close the night off.”
