Recently, Greenwood Court Care & Nursing Home in Great Baddow celebrated its 6th anniversary with a party for staff, residents, and their families. The event featured a ribbon cutting ceremony to introduce the new parent company, Country Court, who took over the care home as part of an acquisition in May. Along with the live entertainment a delightful afternoon tea was prepared by Chef Manager Christopher Pilgrim including a homemade celebration cake.
"Our residents have thoroughly enjoyed the celebrations, especially Joan and Winifred, who joined Councillor Keiran Franks in the ceremonial ribbon cutting. Daphne had the grand honour of cutting the anniversary cake with our Home Manager Rebecca Harris," said Wellbeing Coordinator Colin Mace.
“It’s been wonderful to see our residents and their loved ones come together for this special occasion. Resident Irene danced the afternoon away, and resident Andre, who usually prefers to stay in her room, fully embraced the festivities, smiling and moving to the music,” added Customer Relations Manager Wendy Twydell.
“The musician played an eclectic mix of songs, including (Is this the way to) Amarillo,' 'Return to Sender,' and 'Sweet Caroline,' which even had the front-of-house team dancing. I especially loved how the music brought resident Jill out of her shell, dancing with our Wellbeing Coordinator Colin,” Customer Relations Manager Wendy Twydell continued.
“Thank you, everyone, for joining our birthday celebrations and for supporting us on our journey. Please enjoy the afternoon's offerings, with live entertainment and a delicious buffet spread,” concluded Home Manager Rebecca Harris in her speech.
