Eurovision fever at care homes

Posted onPosted on 10th May

Residents at Lawn Park Care Home, Sutton, — including Jack, pictured below — and The Sycamore & Poplars Care Home, Warsop, are joining in Eurovision fever with their own take on some of the contest’s most famous performances.

More than 100 Four Seasons Health Care Group care homes across the UK are taking part in the event with residents and carers taking inspiration from previous winners, including Abba, Brotherhood of Man, and Bucks Fizz.

Those who were a little too shy to take to the stage are representing judges from different countries and scoring the acts.

Residents are also enjoying a culinary trip around some of the contest’s participating countries and reminiscing about past Eurovision contests, dating back to the inaugural event in 1956, which was won by Switzerland.

Steve Gardner, who heads up the Magic Moments activities programme at Four Seasons Health Care Group, said: “Our residents and team members are really embracing everything Eurovision and putting on some amazing performances of their own.

“We are also enjoying sharing our memories of some of the most famous Eurovision entries over the years, which has got us all singing along. Douze points all round!”
