The resident lives on the Westergate House Memory Lane community and when she arrived at the Denmans Lane care home staff were delighted to learn she had worked as a ballerina. As a young child, her family encouraged her to join a prestigious ballet school where she gained insight into a world of glamour, romance and dedication to the art. The ballet was streamed last week as part of Barchester’s virtual events activity programme. Watching the Nutcracker with the lady was a wonderful experience; she was completely absorbed by the production. Julie, the activities co-ordinator, said: “This has been a super activity. “Our resident was clearly moved by the performance and chatted happily about the ballet. “I felt so honoured to support her with such a meaningful event.” Manager Paul Middleton-Russell added: “Westergate House has a robust activities programme that ensures a person-centred approach to meet the unique needs of each individual. “It is wonderful to learn of different activities and interests that make up a person’s life history and to celebrate even the little things that are important and significant to our residents.”
