✨ Resident Wishes: Making Dreams Come True at Avon Valley ✨

At Avon Valley Care Home - Avery Healthcare, the team takes pride in helping residents fulfil their long-held wishes and create unforgettable moments in the process 💫

Last month, staff at Avon Valley made Evelyn Prigg’s wish of a day at the seaside come true 🌊

🍦 Evelyn visited Burnham-on-Sea, where she enjoyed all the seaside classics - fish and chips, an ice cream, and a stroll down to the beach 🏖️

As she stepped off the bus, Evelyn beamed and said, “This was my wish; dreams do come true.” ✨

Another incredible wish came to life for 92-year-old Jean Hooper, a lifelong Bristol Rovers supporter who wished to attend a match at the Memorial Stadium. ⚽

Thanks to the generosity of Bristol Rovers, Jean was able to visit the stadium and watch the team play, with tickets provided free of charge.

The club even announced Jean’s visit during the match, celebrating her as a proud “Gashead” 💙.

These wishes remind us of the power of cherished memories and the joy of making dreams come true 🌟
