Windsor Court Care Home in Wetherby Celebrates Resident’s 100th Birthday

To honour Joan’s centenary, the care home’s Garden Room was transformed into a vibrant party space, adorned with colourful balloons, festive decorations, and a specially prepared buffet. A beautifully decorated birthday cake took centre stage, ensuring that the event was as special and memorable as Joan herself.
