Scarthingwell's Highfield Care Home observes International Nurses Day
Residents and staff at Highfield Care Home in Scarthingwell, Tadcaster, celebrated International Nurses Day recently.
The annual day, which coincides with the birthday of Florence Nightingale, was held on Monday (May 12).
This year, the theme of International Nurses Day was 'Our Nurses. Our Future,' with the International Council of Nurses wishing to promote the importance of nurses' health and wellness given the importance of their function in society.
Anne, who lives at Highfield Care Home, said: "I used to be a nurse and I know how tiring the job is - there is so much more to think about.
"The staff here spend so much time and energy looking after us.
"It's been lovely to show just how much we appreciate them.
"They do a smashing job."
Highfield Care Home is run by Barchester Healthcare and provides residential care and dementia care.
