First birthday celebration at Langtree!
Langtree Care Home has held birthday celebrations for the first time this week.
Tom
Fletcher celebrated his 86th birthday on Thursday, alongside his beloved
wife and family, as the home pulled out all the stops to ensure he enjoyed his
day in the spotlight.
For the special occasion, the home booked a local singer, Gerry Sandom, who performed a mixture of Elvis songs and sixties’ anthems. Residents and staff came together to bake homemade cupcakes while the home’s Head Chef cooked a fine Victoria sponge, decorated with jam, cream, strawberries and biscuits, which was enjoyed by all.
Tom and his wife, Helen, were two of the first residents to move into Langtree at the start of July and have settled in well.
The recently completed Langtree Care Home specialises in advanced nursing and dementia care and is part of the Standish Care Village. The Village comprises three homes catering for different needs, which deliver unrivalled continuity in the North West.
“They just seem so relaxed here, don’t they? It’s really nice. It’s been a long time since Dad has done something like this. Seeing him get involved and just enjoying themselves, dancing, it’s brilliant!
“It’s been amazing, and the home has made it so nice for him; it’s a great way to celebrate his birthday.”
“Tom and Helen have been with us since the early, early days of Langtree, and we’re delighted they have settled so well. We’re honoured to help Tom, his wife and their family celebrate his special day, and it is fitting that such a lovely man is the first person to celebrate their birthday in our new home.”
