Cooperscroft Care Home Makes Dreams Come True for Beloved Resident, Pat.

Cooperscroft Care Home, part of TLC Care, is delighted to announce the fulfilment of a lifelong dream for one of its cherished residents, Pat, a 93-year-old. Pat, a former seamstress at Harvey Nichols, had expressed her desire to revisit the iconic establishment, and Cooperscroft Care Home made it happen.

Cooperscroft Care Home approached Harvey Nichols on behalf of Pat, and the department store graciously agreed to organize a visit. On Wednesday, May 24th, Pat enjoyed an exquisite dining experience at the 5thfloor restaurant, accompanied by a dedicated team from Harvey Nichols. Over a delightful meal, they shared stories and reminisced about Pat’s contributions during her time at the store.

Following the meal, Pat was given a special guided tour of the store, allowing her to revisit familiar areas that held cherished memories from her time as a seamstress.

Reflecting on the day, Pat expressed her gratitude and excitement, saying: “I had a great day, I am so lucky! I have to say I did not recognise the place. We went through the side entrance it’s the same way I used to go all those years ago. There was the metal gate that used to close the lift and the button was still there.”

Pat went on further to say: “the big mirror going up the stairs, it is the same mirror, and the hotel Mandarin, we always saw shenanigans going on there. I loved the video showing how the place has changed over the years. The meal was out of this world I had fish and chips. I got a goodie bag, a book personalised to me and chocolates, I could go on and on, it was just magical.”

During the visit, Pat told the two of the team members at Harvey Nicholas: “I may be forgetful but I will never forget this day.”

Dinesh Francis, Home Manager at Cooperscroft, emphasised the commitment of the care home and TLC Care to fulfil residents’ dreams and enhance their lives.
