Julia Farmer, 83, who has been a resident at the home for less than a year, said: “I enjoyed it very much, I have never been on a bouncy castle before.”
Catherine Brewster, General Manager, said “It was so lovely to see pure joy on the residents faces, and I was so pleased to see so many of them having fun. Sometimes you have to think outside the box”
