Residents, relatives and friends alongside staff past and present gathered at Whitby Court Care Home to celebrate its 10th anniversary on Saturday, Aug. 10, 2024 with a fabulous party. The special event was honoured by the presence of the Mayor of Whitby, Councillor Robert Dalrymple, adding a touch of local prestige to the celebration.
The day was filled with fun and laughter as everyone came together to mark a decade of providing exceptional care to the Whitby community. Guests were treated to a delicious buffet catered by the renowned local bakery Botham’s, known for their delectable offerings. The culinary delights were just the beginning of an afternoon packed with entertainment and surprises.
The festivities included performances by talented local musicians and entertainers who captivated young and old, rounded off by a lively shanty singing session that had everyone joining in with the chorus. The celebration was topped off with a stunning anniversary cake, beautifully crafted by Barbara Baker (life partner of one of the residents) to commemorate the occasion, and a visit from a classic ice cream van that brought back sweet memories for many.
“We are thrilled to have celebrated such a significant milestone with our residents, their families, and the wider Whitby community,” said Samantha Taylor-Rose, Manager of Whitby Court Care Home. “The past 10 years have been an incredible journey, and we are so grateful to everyone who has been part of our story. Saturday’s event was a true reflection of the warmth, care, and joy that Whitby Court is all about.”
