Emily is a wonderful and much-loved member of our Ferrars Hall family, she loves knitting, reminiscing about working on her farm and chatting with other residents. It was lovely to see her enjoying her special day”.
Staff held an afternoon tea party for Emily complete with balloons and a cake baked by Chef Caroline Tyrkot. Emily was joined by her family and had a lovely time opening her cards and gifts. She also enjoyed a game of birthday bingo with her friends at the party.
