103-Year-Old Woman Parties With Rave Theme At UK Care Home For Birthday Bash
In a delightful departure from tradition, a care home resident recently celebrated her 103rd birthday with a vibrant rave-style celebration.
Vera Sak, a great-great-grandmother, was the guest of honour at Chestnuts Residential Home in Grimsby, Lincolnshire, U.K., where the day room was transformed into a pulsating club atmosphere complete with neon lights and glow sticks.
Vera's sons joined birthday festivities??
According to a report by People, the jubilant occasion took place on March 1, and Vera's two sons, Robert and John, joined in the festivities alongside other residents. Reflecting on the extraordinary gesture made possible by the care home, John expressed his gratitude, saying, "They've gone above the call of duty; I think the staff here are so wonderful."
John further elaborated on the atmosphere within the care home, stating, "Rather than just leave the residents to their own devices, there's always something going on here. It's a two-way thing - some residents can't respond as well as others, but this room today is full of joy."
He emphasised the care home's commitment to special occasions, noting, "If there's ever a special occasion, they do push the boat out."
Praise for care home staff
Echoing this sentiment, care home manager Emma Phillips emphasised, "We always plan special events for our residents' birthday." She highlighted the team's concerted effort in making Vera's celebration truly memorable, remarking, "The team [has] worked incredibly hard on this party, but it's not every day that someone turns 103."
Tracy Atkins, the chief operating officer of the group, commended the dedication of the care home staff, stating, "All of our care homes promote the uniqueness and individuality of their residents." She praised their efforts in bringing joy and entertainment to residents daily, while underscoring the exceptional nature of Vera's birthday celebration, adding, "I am so impressed by the dedication and hard work of our staff to plan and hold such an amazing event to celebrate Vera's birthday."
