Resident Ian Godfrey, 94, said: “I've never been to a prom before, but I will again."

 

Visitor Gwen Gill added: “What a lot of fun everybody gets to have here."

 

For the team, it was terrific to see how much the residents enjoyed getting the full prom experience in the comfort of their own home.

 

Home Manager Paula Yorkston Toy said: “A lot of our residents have heard about prom through their grandchildren and friends, so now it was their turn. It was such great fun getting dressed up and having our photos taken. The residents filled the dance floor very quickly!”
