Ann, a resident at Ivy Court Care Home, part of Runwood Homes, celebrated her 80th birthday in style with a special party, surrounded by family, friends, fellow residents and team members.
Ann’s daughter, who lives away, contacted the home to arrange a party for her mum’s special milestone. The Ivy Court team was happy to help, and entertainer Alan Turner was booked to perform, making it a wonderful occasion for Ann to celebrate with her loved ones.
The afternoon was filled with music, dancing and plenty of birthday cheer. Ann thoroughly enjoyed singing and dancing along with Alan, something she has always loved doing. There were also lots of presents and a birthday cake as everyone joined in to celebrate her special milestone.
Ann’s daughter was delighted with how the day went and sent a lovely message to the Ivy Court team, saying: “My Aunty and cousin visited my mum today and it looks like she had great fun dancing and singing her heart out with Alan, family, friends and staff – thanks for letting me do this!”
The Ivy Court team was pleased to support Ann’s daughter in organising such a meaningful occasion, giving the family the chance to celebrate together and create happy memories.
At Ivy Court, helping residents celebrate important milestones is an important part of supporting their happiness and wellbeing. Working closely with families to make special occasions happen helps residents feel loved and valued, while giving them the opportunity to enjoy the things they love with the people who matter most.
