Head of lifestyle Rachel Gittins said: “We always want to make the birthdays of our residents as memorable as possible, and with this one being especially significant, we decided to launch the appeal so we could give our resident 100 birthday cards on the morning of her birthday. 

“We’ve already started having some delivered and the feedback on Facebook has been amazing. We can’t wait to see the look on her face when we give her the cards.”
