A Glasgow care home resident enjoyed a special guest at her 99th birthday party.
Agnes Morrison had a unique request as she reached the major milestone at HC-One Scotland’s Ailsa Craig Care Home in Cessnock last week.
Fiona Pryce, Senior Wellbeing Coordinator, had the perfect idea for the party as a few months previously, Kat Muir a local entertainer came along to the home to perform, and Agnes loved it.

Agnes even asked Fiona if she would be able to organise Kat to come along and perform for her birthday.
She was then thrilled when she wish came true and the singer came along to her pink themed birthday party.
The wellbeing team at the 90-bedded nursing and nursing dementia care home made the event something to remember by also inviting Agnes' full family.
They were excited to come along and took part in singing, dancing and glasses of pink prosecco flowing.
Agnes even performed with Kat as they both sang one of Agnes’ favourite songs, ‘The Rose’ and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house.

“Seeing Agnes sing her favourite song was a moment everyone at Ailsa Craig will always treasure.”
