Celebrating Mother’s Day When Your Mum Lives In A Care Home
Mother’s Day (10th March) is a time to cherish the women who have loved and nurtured us all our lives. It is a day to remind mums how much we love and appreciate them.
However, when your mum lives in a care home, this special day might feel overshadowed by the distance.
At Rosebank, we understand how important it is to maintain strong family bonds and celebrate such occasions with our loved ones. And so, we have come up with some ways to make this Mother’s Day memorable for you and your mum.
PLAN A SPECIAL VISIT:
Plan to visit your mum at the care home and spend quality time reminiscing, sharing stories, or simply enjoying each other’s company. Bring along old photos, her favourite sweets or something she misses and enjoy the day together.
GET CREATIVE WITH GIFTS:
You can show your love with a thoughtful gift, remember small gestures go a long way! You can create a personalised card telling your mum how much you love her, or put together a care package with her favourite treats and bake her something special to bring along with you.
PAMPER YOUR MUM:
Pamper your mum in any way you can – this can be as grand or as simple as you wish. Plan a spa day or take her to get her nails done and then go out for a lovely lunch or a fancy high tea experience. Make sure she feels special on this day.
USE TECHNOLOGY TO YOUR ADVANTAGE:
If you can’t visit your mum on Mother’s Day, use technology to stay connected and still celebrate her from afar. Set up a video call or send a digital card full of family memories, or even send a recorded message expressing your love and appreciation.
CELEBRATE TOGETHER AS A FAMILY:
If you want to go all out, you can also organise a family visit at the care home. Involve other residents and their families too and share the joy with everyone.
At the end of the day, remember that the best gift you can give your mum is your time, attention and love. Whether it’s a visit, a thoughtful gift, or a heartfelt message – any gesture from you, big or small, will make her day truly special.
At Rosebank, we are dedicated to supporting residents and their families in celebrating special occasions together and creating memories that will last a lifetime.
