Residents of Rosedale Court Care Home, part of the Runwood Homes Group, experienced a special day out on 15 April 2026, as they embarked on a private behind-the-scenes tour of the iconic West Ham United stadium.
The special outing gave residents and their relatives the unique opportunity to explore the stadium both inside and out. The group enjoyed exclusive access to areas rarely seen by the public, including behind-the-scenes spaces and the chance to stand pitch side.
The visit was made even more meaningful through the warm welcome extended by staff and the wider community at the stadium. Residents were accompanied by their loved ones and Rosedale Court team members, ensuring a supportive and enjoyable experience throughout the day.
Both residents and members of the community shared positive feedback, highlighting the sense of connection and excitement that the trip inspired. The atmosphere throughout the visit was vibrant and uplifting, filled with smiles, laughter, and shared reminiscing about football memories.
A standout moment of the day was stepping pitch side, where residents were able to take in the impressive scale of the stadium and capture photographs with their loved ones, an experience many described as a “once-in-a-lifetime” opportunity.
Rosedale Court remains committed to enhancing the wellbeing of its residents by organising enriching outings that create social engagement and strengthen community ties.
