General manager at the home, Mandy Scott said: “Our residents love a party and New Year’s Eve has to be the best reason to stay up late and see in the New Year. We’re all really excited to see what 2023 has to offer us all.”

Meanwhile, Sonia, a resident at the Thistle Hill Care Centre said: “It was lots of fun to join in the party and count down to the start of 2023 – I love the excitement of New Year.
