People living and working at Rose Manor retirement community, which provides apartments with care and support for people aged over 55, and those with long-term care needs, marked the occasion by enjoying a day of fun and celebrations in the sunshine alongside members of the public and community groups.
The party was supported by the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Telford, which organised a range of free activities for all ages and a barbecue. With activities taking place in the central Ketley Millenium Village square, officers from Telford & Wrekin Police and staff from Ironbridge Gorge Museum attended, as well as Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service who brought along the fire engine, which proved a big hit with all the children who were thrilled to climb on board and explore the vehicle.
Rose Manor residents also welcomed three special guests: Councillor Stephen Reynolds (Ketley & Oakengates), Shaun Davies, MP for Telford, and the Mayor for Telford & Wrekin, Ian Preece.
Certificates were presented to the residents who have lived at Rose Manor since it opened, and everyone rounded off the day of celebrations with a slice of homemade cake, courtesy of the catering team at Rose Manor’s onsite Taste restaurant.
Marie Tranter, Retirement Communities Manager for Rose Manor, said: “It was such a fantastic day, with lots of sunshine, great company, and plenty of cake! Seeing residents, staff and neighbours celebrating a decade of Rose Manor together was really special, and everyone said how much they enjoyed the day. Here’s to the next ten years!”
