Humberston House Residents Enjoy Nostalgic Back to School Day

Residents at Humberston House Care Home enjoyed a nostalgic trip down memory lane as the home hosted its very own ‘Back to School’ event — complete with classroom activities, themed decorations, and delicious food inspired by classic school dinners.

Residents relive treasured memories during themed school event

The reception lounge was transformed into a cheerful classroom setting, with team members getting fully involved in the fun. Care Manager Susan and Front of House Faz took on the roles of school masters, leading a light-hearted ‘school day’ that included registration, assembly, and a Makaton signing class led by “Teacher Susan.”

Chef Jack delights residents with creative school dinner buffet

The event continued with a ‘Back to School’ buffet, prepared by the home’s talented chef Jack, who created a stunning selection of traditional school meals reimagined as elegant canapés and beautifully presented on slate tiles. Residents were thrilled by both the creativity and the flavours, making it a truly memorable experience for all.

Adding to the celebrations, Chef Jack was recognised for his outstanding culinary skills, winning the “Tanglewood Has Taste” food category for his exceptional dishes — a well-deserved honour that made the day even more special.

At Tanglewood, meaningful activities and shared experiences are designed to spark memories, encourage social connection, and bring joy to everyday life.
