Wembley care home gives Glastonbury a run for its money

As festival season gets into full swing across the UK, Middlesex Manor Bupa Care Home has become an unlikely edition to this year’s summer lineup.

The Wembley-based care home, along with multiple other Bupa care homes across the country, opened its doors to the community who were entertained by an impressive bill of local artists including a country music performer and a pianist that played a range of tunes from the 60s and 70s.

The event, dubbed Bupa Fest, saw residents and staff alike don flamboyant outfits – synonymous with music festivals. Attendees were also treated to homemade food prepared by the care home kitchen team.

Care home resident, 64-year-old Luz Dhaminar Singh commented: “It was a fantastic day. I loved the variety of music and the singalong was great fun.”

Home Manager at Middlesex Manor, Louis Capadosa, added: “We were delighted to welcome the local community, friends and families to join in our Bupa Fest event. It was a joyful day for all involved. “Music carries a number of benefits including boosting mood, helping to relax and stimulating memory. We’ve made lots of new memories and hopefully brought up some old, fond ones for our residents, reminiscing on their festival-going days.

“It’s our ambition to create events which foster a fun and engaging environment for our residents and after the success of Bupa Fest, we’re looking forward to hosting further activities in the coming months.”
