Couple celebrate 50th Anniversary at Milesian Manor
23rd September 2025
Love was certainly in the air at Milesian Manor this month, as staff went far beyond the call of duty to create an extraordinary 50th wedding anniversary celebration!
What began as a simple request from Milesian Manor’s Lifestyle Care Home Manager, Julie, for an afternoon tea to mark her parents’ golden anniversary, transformed into something truly magical thanks to the dedication and warmth of the team.
The chef, upon hearing about the special occasion, took it upon herself to create an elegant four-course meal served in Milesian Manor’s unique Greyhound Bar. The celebration was made even more special with a beautiful red velvet cake and cupcakes lovingly made by Julie’s daughter, bringing three generations together for this milestone moment.
Pat, who has called Milesian Manor her home for nearly six years, was able to celebrate this precious milestone alongside her husband of 50 years in familiar surroundings, supported by the team of staff who have become like an extended family to her.
“This is what caring with heart looks like,” said Julie. “When I asked for a simple afternoon tea, I never expected our team to go to such lengths. Seeing the joy on my parents’ faces was absolutely priceless – it’s moments like these that remind us all why we chose careers in care.”
Chef, Chinx Manacho added: “I never felt that I was going above the role of my job for Pat & Everett. Our work is highly fulfilling when you witness moments like this, It brings me joy to create lasting memories by simply treating our residents and their families as we would our own.”
This heart-warming celebration perfectly embodies our group core values of trust, dedication, continuous development and ‘treating people really well’ – principles that guide every aspect of our care delivery across our six care homes.
