Kenton Hall Care Home has unveiled a dedicated “Memory Corner” to remember former residents who have passed away.

The corner is designed to foster a sense of warmth and remembrance and is adorned with a remembrance plaque and carved bench, which former residents’ names are added to when they pass away. This tribute ensures that the cherished memories of the departed residents remain within the care home.

Reverend Malcolm Hall led the unveiling ceremony, attended by residents and their family members, which served as a poignant reminder of the strong sense of community that prevails within Kenton Hall Care Home.

Reverend Malcolm Hall, Priest in charge of St. Mary's Fawdon and the Church of the Ascension in Kenton said "Being in Kenton, we’re all part of a community. When people come into residential homes, sometimes they can be forgotten about and it’s really important that we continue to keep in contact with them.

“It was a great honour and humbling to have been asked to come down to unveil the garden”

Steve Massey, operations manager at Solehawk, which operates Kenton Hall, said "The Memory Corner is a place of solace and reflection at Kenton Hall, dedicated to honouring the lives and legacies of our beloved residents who are no longer with us.

“It serves as a gentle reminder of the lasting impact they have had on our home and the hearts of all those who had the privilege of knowing them."
