Valentine’s Day in Aged Care is a chance to celebrate togetherness and evoke some of the romance of yesteryear. Bring joy to the table on the 14th of February with some of these ideas:

Cook with heart



Use heart-shaped cookie cutters and moulds. Even mashed potato can be romantic with the help of a few utensils and pink food colouring.

Create heart-shaped iced biscuits or heart shaped watermelon.

Use icing sugar and a stencil to add romance to simple toast and jam.

Add sweet messages for those who are missing a loved one on Valentine’s Day.



Add the colours of love



Red, pink and white - jazz up the dining room with table cloths, streamers, and balloons to highlight the theme. Flowers such as roses, carnations and daisies all symbolise love and add to the sense of occasion.

As a finishing touch - place individual roses or chocolates in red foil at each place setting.
