Big birthday wishes for Stalybridge care home ResidentWhen one of the newest Residents at the Millbrook residential care home, on Tameside, told one Colleague it was his birthday soon, they simply had to make a fuss!

During Wellbeing Coordinator, Alina’s, chats with Sid, the new Resident at The Millbrook care home, she found he had a passion for books and jigsaws. 

Alina also found out that his birthday was just a few days away, and discussed gifts he might like to receive on his birthday. Sid mentioned he had an interest in crime novels, the works of Arthur Conan Doyle in particular.

Alina was then able to provide a gift for gift Sid on his birthday; a Sherlock Holmes mystery in a large print for easy reading!

Sid was over the moon with the gift, saying, “Thank you. I didn’t have this book!”

She commented, “It was lovely to see Sidney making the most of his birthday. As a care home we try to make each individual feel special, and try to make everyone feel welcome and included at all times. We want to make the process of settling in more pleasant by giving our undivided attention and treating our Residents with the utmost respect.”

For future activities, the home is taking on a challenging jigsaw! Watch this space…
