One of our nursing home residents has enjoyed a special celebration with family and friends, arranged to mark reaching 106 years young.
Mrs Mc – as she is affectionately known – lives in our St Catherine’s Nursing Home in Newcastle and is our oldest resident, although her zest for life often belies her years.
“It was really lovely having this little family get-together for my birthday.” said Mrs Mc, who celebrated at St Cuthbert’s Care’s head office with three generations of her family – her daughter, granddaughter and great grandson. She also enjoyed meeting up with long-time friends, Barry and Sandra and volunteer, Iris, who is a regular visitor to her home in St Catherine’s.
Among the many birthday cards proudly displayed on Mrs Mc’s wall was one from her daughter in New Zealand and her third card and message from the Queen.
