As part of the Easter celebrations, Park Care Centre hosted one of its many exciting entertainment events for its residents.

The event took place on April 13 in the centre’s gardens. Lionel Huntley, a performer, entertained residents with his music and singing.

Business development officer for Park Care Jaqui Smith said the event aimed to spoil the residents and celebrate Easter by taking the residents down memory lane through music. It was also to enhance the quality of nursing care and social care for the lives of their vulnerable fragile residents.
