Life at Plas-Y-Dderwen Care Home
A Birthday to Remember
Plas Y Dderwen gave one of their residents a birthday to remember. Three residents from the home joined the birthday boy, to celebrate his 84th birthday in an afternoon on Gwilli Railway, supplied with tea and sandwiches and a journey to enlighten the heart. Tony (director of Gwilli Railway quoted) "we love working with the community and look forward to providing more services, the look of enjoyment on their faces is one I wont forget" . Children were free this half term so Plas Y Dderwen took 9 children, who are close to the residents hearts on the adventure. "We had a fantastic day, the residents remembering how the trains used to be and the children in ore of what used to be, we look forward to many more experiences" quoted Lorraine the Activities coordinator.
