A SIMPLE trip into town for coffee and cake can mean more than it sounds.

Residents of Catherine House in Frome, Somerset stay connected to the community around them by visits for cake and coffee.

Family members, as the home likes to call their residents, can pop over the road to their local coffee shop to enjoy a hot drink, and watch the world go by.

The care home located in Frome’s town centre, encourages residents of the home to participate in the parts of the community that are important to them.

Administrator at Catherine House, Kim Viner, said: “Family member Alan joined the outing today and came back telling me how he enjoyed his cappuccino and was very hungry so he ‘had to have’ a massive tea cake!”
