Lord Mayor and children celebrate fifth birthday

LORD Mayor of Chester, Councillor Sheila Little, and children from Kids

Planet joined the team at a care home to celebrate its fifth birthday with a ‘Jurassic disco’ party .

81-bed Grosvenor Manor, close to the centre of Chester, welcomed its first residents in 2018 and has since gone from strength-to-strength.

Home manager Anne Hughes added: “One of the things that attracted me to the role of manager here was the sense of belonging, not only between the residents and care team, but also with our wider local community.

“It was super to have the Lord Mayor and the children from Kids Planet here with us to celebrate and help make today such a memorable occasion for us all.”

Residents Joan Hall and Jean Jones moved into the home when it first opened and are still there today.

They are joined by more than 15 employees including nurses, carers, wellbeing, catering, housekeeping and hospitality who all joined within a few months of opening and are still with the company.

Singer Leeann James provided entertainment and there was fun for all ages with appearances from the Grosvenor dinosaurs, a bouncy castle from White Cloud Events and dinosaur costumes and props made by the home’s residents and supplied by The Prop Hire team.
