St Georges Care Home in Weston-super-Mare has launched an inspiring new initiative — Project Sunshine: Fuelled by Happy Thoughts. This heartwarming project is all about helping residents reconnect with their passions, dreams, and joyful memories, creating opportunities for meaningful moments and new experiences.
Celebrating Personal Passions
Every resident at St Georges is unique, with their own life story, interests, and cherished memories. Project Sunshine aims to recognise and embrace these individual passions, turning them into uplifting experiences that enrich daily life.
Whether it’s through revisiting a favourite hobby, reconnecting with a lifelong interest, or simply doing something that brings joy, Project Sunshine puts the resident at the heart of each experience.
Michael’s Train Journey: A Dream Revisited
For Michael, a former railway worker and lifelong train enthusiast, the idea of a train trip was met with instant excitement. When he heard about the plan, his face lit up — a moving reminder of what this project is truly about.
The team at St Georges made his dream a reality by organising a special train journey. As he watched trains arrive and depart from the platform, memories came flooding back. He recalled the many stations he had worked at, the trains he had travelled on, and even spoke fondly of the times he had journeyed in First Class.
The outing sparked conversations, nostalgia, and visible joy — making it a truly unforgettable day for Michael and a perfect launch to Project Sunshine.
Care That Celebrates the Individual
At St Georges, person-centred care is more than just a philosophy — it’s at the heart of everything we do. As part of Allegra Care’s Household Model, our approach focuses on building meaningful relationships and supporting residents to live life on their terms.
We offer high-quality residential, nursing, and dementia care for both long-term and short-term stays, as well as respite day care. Project Sunshine is just one example of how we go beyond daily care to celebrate individuality and enhance wellbeing.
