Westwood care home, part of the Runwood Homes group, recently took a step back in time with a lively 1920s-themed day, bringing the golden age of jazz, flappers, and glamour to life. The event, which took place on 14th November 2024, filled the home with music, laughter, and a touch of vintage charm, as residents, staff, and family members came together to celebrate the Roaring Twenties.
The whole day was a trip down memory lane, with the residents, staff, and family members donning their finest 1920s-inspired attire. Westwood was transformed into a vibrant scene from the Jazz Age, with decorations that transported everyone back to an era of flapper dresses, bow ties, and swing music.
In the afternoon, guests were treated to a special performance by talented singer Keeley, who serenaded the crowd with a selection of 1920s classics. The room was filled with the energy of residents, family, and staff, all up on their feet, dancing and singing along to the familiar tunes.
