Alice Turns 105 Years Young!

Celebrations have been in full swing at Elgar Court Care Home, as one of its residents reaches her centenary in style.

Alice Foulkes was joined by family, residents and staff as she  received a telegram from the King in recognition of her landmark birthday. Alice wanted a quieter birthday this year, to enjoy a relaxed time with her family and residents and with her favourite tipple, a Baileys and her favourite custard tarts!

Alice said, “I can’t quite believe I am 105 years old today, it’s just another day to me!”  Alice started her day with her usual tropical fruit platter along with the Housekeepers, Hannah, Jess and Head Housekeeper, Sarah, singing happy birthday to her.  Later that afternoon, staff and residents came along to wish her a very happy birthday too and bring her gifts.

Sarah Cadwallader, General Manager at Elgar Court said,
“We’re delighted to be celebrating a truly remarkable lady as she reaches another amazing milestone. Alice is such a popular resident who always has an interesting tale to tell and a dry sense of humour – we look forward to hearing many more as she breaks into her next century.”
