‘Everyone enjoyed a delightful spread of cakes and refreshments, with new visitors praising both the warm welcome and the stunning care home facilities. One first-time guest remarked, “What a beautiful home – and such a lovely event for residents and families.’ Commented Customer Relations Manager Ros Wells.
Residents were equally overjoyed. “I don’t need a husband when I have all these lovely dogs,” laughed one resident, while another beamed, “Everyone’s smiling and having a lovely time.” Resident Bev summed it up perfectly: “I’d love to take them all home – it’s been wonderful.”
“Bringing the community together in this way has meant the world to our residents. The joy and energy that filled the home was truly special – we’re already looking forward to next year’s event. Thank you to everyone who supported us and attended to make this event so brilliant”
