Home Celebrates Nancy’s 101st Birthday

Mount Vale Care Home was filled with joy, colour and community spirit as resident Nancy celebrated her remarkable 101st birthday, surrounded by love from staff, fellow residents, family and the wider local community.

In the lead-up to the celebration, staff at Mount Vale invited the local community to help mark Nancy’s milestone by sending birthday cards. The response was overwhelming, with forty-one cards arriving to help make the day extra special. A particularly touching moment came when children from Rosedene Nursery visited Nancy, bringing with them a birthday cake, a handmade card, colourful pictures created especially for her and some beautiful tulips for which she gave a fabulous tip for making them last longer. The visit brought smiles, laughter and a wonderful intergenerational atmosphere to the home.

The celebrations were made even sweeter thanks to local cake baker Olivia Wilkinson, from Olivia’s Cakes, who created a selection of beautiful cupcakes, to go alongside her main cake a classic Victoria sponge cake. Nancy’s favourite colour, blue, was thoughtfully woven into the day through decorations and cake details, adding a personal touch.

Nancy was deeply moved by the celebration and the kindness shown. She said: “I didn’t expect anything like this at all. I’m so happy to be spending my birthday with people who care about me.”

Staff at Mount Vale Care Home described Nancy as a much-loved member of their community and said it was a privilege to celebrate such an incredible milestone. “It was wonderful to see the community come together to celebrate Nancy,” a member of staff said. “Moments like this mean so much to our residents and to us as a team.”
