Pinewood Residential Home, in Le Mont Millais, celebrated three decades of service to the community with a big birthday party on March 22 and we had a week of thank you events, with more than 100 people taking part.
The 48-bed residential home, situated outside of the bustling centre of St Helier, pulled out all the stops in honour of this special milestone, with an abundance of decorations, balloons and bunting, and an anniversary party at the home.
This event saw those living in the home gather with their relatives, as well as current and former members of staff, for a buffet lunch and live music from a local musician.
Visitors to the home were able to look over a photo archive display, with photos stretching back to the home’s grand opening event in 1993, as well as other anniversaries and special events along the way. There was also a great display of some of the many thank you cards received by the home and its team over the years.
The week of the anniversary was devoted to thanking the community, with coffee and cake stations set up at the entrance of the home every day to welcome all visitors.
Care Home Lifestyle Coordinator Ioana Adler said:
“It’s not every day you get to celebrate turning 30, so we were determined to make this an occasion to remember. I am so grateful for all those that took part and made it so special – everyone living here at Pinewood had the most wonderful time…. we hope to continue offering the best possible care environment for many decades to come.”
