At Engelberg Care Home, a quiet afternoon turned into something truly special when a group of residents decided to write a letter to His Majesty, The King. What began as a simple idea soon became a heartwarming project that brought everyone together - filled with conversation, creativity and plenty of smiles.
With the help of our team, residents shared their thoughts, hopes and well wishes for the King, adding a touch of humour and personality to every line. Beautiful stationery was chosen for the occasion, fit for royalty, and great care was taken in crafting a letter that reflected the warmth and spirit of our community.
Our Letter to the King
The residents’ letter was a collective effort, written from the heart. Together, they expressed their admiration for the King’s dedication and service, shared memories of royal celebrations, and included personal reflections on what the monarchy means to them.
For many, it was a nostalgic and meaningful experience - a chance to connect with a figure who has been part of national life for generations. The group enjoyed reminiscing about past royal events, including coronations, jubilees and visits from members of the Royal Family, all of which hold a special place in their memories.
The letter was then carefully sealed and posted to Buckingham Palace, accompanied by the hope that it might, somehow, reach His Majesty himself.
The Royal Reply
Weeks later, much to everyone’s delight, the home received a letter from Buckingham Palace in response. The excitement and pride that followed were truly heartwarming. Residents gathered together to open and read the reply aloud, cherishing every word.
The letter expressed the King’s appreciation for the kind thoughts and well wishes sent by our residents. It was a genuine moment of connection and recognition, one that made a lasting impression on everyone involved. The sense of joy and pride that filled the home was unmistakable, as residents shared in the happiness of receiving post from the palace - something most people only dream of.
A Memorable Experience
This wonderful exchange with the King has been an uplifting experience for residents and team members alike. It sparked conversation, inspired reflection and reminded everyone of the value of connection... not only within our homes, but with the wider world beyond them.
At Ashberry Healthcare, we are proud to create opportunities like this that celebrate creativity, community and the joy of shared experiences. Moments like these truly enrich life across our homes, bringing meaning and happiness to each day.
