Westgate Healthcare owners, Mr and Mrs Patel, joined residents and the team to mark this special milestone. A live singer brought the courtyard to life, with residents enjoying the music and dancing, while the celebrations continued throughout the home.
It was a lovely opportunity to celebrate five years of memories, friendships and community at Chestnut Manor, with residents and their families at the very heart of what makes the home so special.
