Many elderly residents lived through the war, experiencing its hardships first-hand. Some may have served in the armed forces, contributed to wartime industries, or kept the home front strong while loved ones fought overseas. Their stories—of resilience, sacrifice, and unity—are living history that deserves to be honored and shared.
Honoring Sacrifice and Service
VE Day is a moment to reflect on those who lost their lives in the conflict and to appreciate the peace that was hard-won. By commemorating this day, care home residents and staff alike recognise the bravery of those who fought for freedom.
A Time for Community and Remembrance
Here at Linden Care Homes we have decided to celebrate all week with a series of events planned in all our homes. We are going to create a sense of togetherness, bringing residents, staff, and families together to share memories, songs, and stories. Whether through music, tea parties, or watching historical footage, we all can be reminded of the unity that carried a nation through tough times.
