Elvis Is In The Building At Kenton Care Home

It was a day of nostalgia, music, and pure joy at HC-One’s Kirkwood Court Care Home in Kenton, Newcastle upon Tyne, as residents, relatives, and colleagues welcomed a very special guest, none other than Elvis Presley himself!

Professional Elvis tribute artist Mike Memphis brought all the charisma and charm of the King of Rock and Roll to life with a dazzling live performance that had the whole home rocking. Dressed head-to-toe in Elvis’s iconic white rhinestone jumpsuit, Mike delivered an energetic and heartfelt tribute featuring a selection of beloved hits, including “Love Me Tender,” “Hound Dog,” and “Suspicious Minds.”

The visit was part of the home’s programme of enriching activities designed to promote happiness, wellbeing, and community spirit among residents. The performance struck a perfect chord with many who fondly remembered Elvis’s heyday and shared stories of dancing to his music in their younger years.

The event was held in the home’s main lounge, and colleagues joined in the fun too, creating a vibrant and immersive experience.

HC-One Home Manager, Karen Stewart, commented:
“Our goal at Kirkwood Court is to create meaningful moments and spark joy for every resident. Mike Memphis’s performance was more than entertainment, it was a shared experience that brought laughter, connection, and a bit of Elvis magic into our home. We’re so grateful to him for such a memorable afternoon.”
