🌸 A lovely visit to Bridgend Garden Centre🌸
Natalie knows just how much Barbara loves her garden and spending time surrounded by beautiful flowers, so she decided to surprise her with a special visit to Bridgend Garden Centre. 🌷🌿
Barbara had a wonderful time wandering around, taking in all the gorgeous flowers and plants, chatting about her favourites and even choosing a few to take home and enjoy in her own garden. 💐
Of course, no trip to the garden centre would be complete without a little treat! ☕️🍰 Barbara and Natalie finished their visit with a lovely scone and coffee at The Gardeners Rest Café, enjoying a relaxed chat and plenty of smiles along the way.
Visits like this are a lovely example of person-centred support. It’s not simply about getting out of the house — it’s about taking the time to know what makes each individual happy, understanding their interests and creating meaningful opportunities around the things they genuinely enjoy. 💜
For Barbara, being able to spend time looking at flowers, choosing something for her own garden and enjoying a coffee and cake made the day special and personal to her. These experiences can provide purpose, connection, independence and enjoyment, while helping someone continue doing the things they love.
At Later Life Choices Glenrothes, we believe that support should be built around the person, not the other way around. Helping people enjoy life their way, making memories and continuing to take part in the activities that bring them joy. 🌸💜
And judging by Barbara’s smile, it was a lovely surprise! 😊
