On Saturday 28th June, residents of Rosedale Court Care Home, part of the Runwood Homes Group, came together with families, staff, and members of the local community for a truly memorable day, as the home hosted a Vintage Cars and Julie Jive Rock ’n’ Roll Day.
The event was organised by Louise, the Lifestyle Coordinator at Rosedale Court, who worked closely with the South East Essex Car Group and singer Julie Jive to bring an afternoon of nostalgia and joy to residents and their loved ones.
Guests were treated to a display of three beautiful classic cars — an Austin 7, a Beetle, and a Ford Prefect — kindly showcased by local vintage car owners Ahmed, Colin, and Ruth. The stunning cars sparked conversations, stories, and fond memories among the residents.
Residents and families enjoyed delicious burgers and hot dogs, refreshing ice lollies, and drinks from the Rosedale Court Bar, while being entertained by the lively rock ’n’ roll performance from Julie Jive. Dancing, singing, and laughter filled the afternoon, making it a truly special occasion for all.
Gloria exclaimed “I love the cars; they are older than me!”
Rosedale Court continues to create engaging opportunities that connect generations, celebrate the past, and make new memories for residents and their families.
