A RESIDENT living at HC-One’s Dovedale Court in Wednesbury, West Midlands, had his wish come true of travelling to Dublin.
Gordon Small, 71, who moved into the care home in July 2013, expressed to members of the care team his lifelong desire to visit the 7 Mile Art Gallery as he has always been fascinated with art.
Home manager Dawn Allen coordinated the visit and surprised him on his 72nd birthday with a day trip to make his wish come true.
She said: “Gordon is such a character, and he was blown away by the support and effort the staff had made to grant his wish. Gordon is already talking about where he’d like to go on his next adventure.”
Unit manager Kerry Marston and senior care assistant Vickey Reynolds accompanied Gordon on the trip.
