STAFF at Wilton Place Care Home marked its second anniversary in style in December.

The care home invited the Wilton community and business owners to a party to celebrate their second year – complete with live entertainment.

Guests, staff and residents were treated to a performance from Jo Machin, a ukulele player and singer, and head chef Hayley Dibden put on a buffet complete with home-baked cakes and pastries.

“The home regularly holds events and activities for its residents, their friends and families and its surrounding neighbours.

“Wilton Place really likes to bring the community together and forms a central hub for many community groups.”

General manager at Wilton Place, Antoinette Roberts, said: “We have all had such a fantastic couple of years here at Wilton Place; it was lovely to be able to celebrate all together.

“We are a family and we all support each other. It is testament to my wonderful team here who work so hard to care for our residents, that we have such a loving and caring home.

“I am so proud of them all, and I want to thank them for all that they do to go above and beyond for our fabulous residents each and every day.”

One resident, Ann, said: “We had such a lovely day celebrating; it was so lovely seeing lots of members of the community come together to celebrate with us.”
