Level 3 Health and Social Care students visit Nursing Home

Sixth form St Mary’s students spent the afternoon doing various activities with elderly residents at Kingfisher Nursing Home. The Health and Social Care students were welcomed by the senior care team and made to feel at home. The students had planned activities to interact and communicate building positive relationships with residents.

They started by meeting the residents and got to know some of them through the discussions they were having on a one to one basis. It reflected the skills the students had developed of being caring, compassionate and communicating effectively.

Finally as a group they played Bingo with most of the residents in a respectful manner and it was amazing to see them having a great time. We look forward to cooperatively working together with our local Healthcare providers in Hertfordshire and St Mary’s CE High School. A big well-done to the girls and thank you to Kingfisher Nursing Home for allowing the Health and Social Care students placement
