Residents at a Verwood care home have been sharing their tips of love with younger generations in celebration of Valentine’s Day.<\/p>\n

The group from Verwood House Care Home on Ringwood Road were happy to pass on their years of experience when they sat down to a Valentine’s meal at their home.<\/p>\n

And top tips included lots of cuddles, honesty and being happy.<\/p>\n

Resident Margaret Pearson, aged 89, said: “I would always say to people, never go to bed on an argument and never ever tell lies and always be honest with each other.”<\/p>\n

Fellow resident Eunice Whipp, aged 89, couldn’t agree more with Margaret and added: “Never go to bed on an argument and give lots of cuddles!”<\/p>\n

Jean West, aged 93, was very practical about her advice and said: “Find something to love about them for a long time.”<\/p>\n

Dorothy Manners, aged 93, simply said: “Be happy.”<\/p>\n

Betty Emery, aged 95, said: “Try them out, wear them out!”<\/p>\n

Verwood House’s Wellbeing Coach Emilia Turner said: “I have learned so much by listening to the residents talk about relationships. They have so much good advice, and it always comes from the heart.”<\/p>\n
