Happy Birthday, David!

What a fantastic afternoon at Gwen Walford.
We were delighted to be joined by the talented Huw Knight for a wonderful sing-along session. Residents loved every minute — from singing along to dancing in their seats and sharing plenty of smiles throughout the afternoon.

Thank you, Huw, for bringing such joy, energy, and music into our home. We’re already looking forward to the next one!

Phyllis is always happiest when she’s feeding the squirrels and watching them from her window as they eat, play, and scamper around. It’s the simple moments that bring the most joy.

Our Customer Administrator, Carly, was delivering Phyllis her post and took a moment to join her, watching the squirrels enjoy their treats together. A lovely reminder of how small, everyday moments can mean so much.
