As we approach Wednesday, 19th November, we are filled with pride and gratitude — Skylark is turning 9!
It was on 21st November 2016 that our very first resident joined us, marking the beginning of a wonderful journey built on care, compassion, and community. Since that day, Skylark has grown into a true home — not just a place to live, but a place to belong.
This celebration is not only about our home’s birthday — it’s about our incredible residents, their families, and the dedicated staff who bring Skylark to life every single day. Each smile, act of kindness, and shared moment over the past nine years has shaped who we are today.
Reaching this milestone is a testament to the strength of our people — those who live here, those who care, and those who make every day meaningful. Let’s come together to honour this remarkable journey and the wonderful community that makes Skylark so special.
Here’s to nine amazing years — and many more to come!
