Savouring a Taste of France with a Deluxe Croissant Morning

Gabriel Court Care Home brought France to Kettering when they savoured a taste of the typically French pastry the Croissant.

Residents of Gabriel Court Care Home were happy to embrace the French breakfast tradition dubbed the “Deluxe Coffee and Croissant Day,” bringing a touch of continental flair to their morning.

A resounding success, the event saw the care home’s dining area transformed into a café setting, where everyone gathered with eager anticipation as the smell of the buttery pastries cooking could be smelt.

Swapping out their customary tea and biscuits was a real change and potentially one that may become a routine social engagement for the home.

Served warm and accompanied by an array of jams and preserves. The residents enjoyed the delicate layers of pastry, enjoying the simple pleasure of spreading jam on their croissants and savouring each bite.

“Feedback from the residents was overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing joy at the opportunity to try something different. It’s so nice to be able to do something different, and see the big impact it has on our residents’ day-to-day lives.” says Heidi care home manager.

This initiative by Gabriel Court Care Home highlights the importance of variety and enjoyment in the dining experiences of care home residents, demonstrating that even small changes can significantly enhance their quality of life.
