Sandstones welcomes local mayor for special event

Sandstones care home in the Wirral welcomed a special guest, Councillor Jeff Green who is the Mayor of Wirral, to open their new resident shop!

The care home celebrated the opening of its brand new, resident shop on Tuesday 28th February with a party attended by residents, members of the local community and Mayor Green and his wife, Carol! 

To mark the official opening, guests enjoyed light refreshments in Sandstones lounge before Councillor Green cut a ceremonial ribbon to declare the shop open. Residents and guests then continued to enjoy refreshments and musical entertainment in the shape of karaoke and dancing. The new shop includes old time sweets, handmade gifts and toiletries for residents and visitors to buy!

Skander Khayati, Regional Support Manager of Sandstones care home, said:

We’re delighted to open our new shop and deeply honoured that Councillor Green and his wife could join us! We’ve worked hard on the new facilities and my team did wonderful work to get everything looking so nice.

We had some wonderful people volunteer to help us decorate and set up the new shop, so I’d like to say a huge thank you to them too. Everyone here at Sandstones is really excited to have the new shop open!

Ethel Morris said how much she is looking forward to enjoying the shop:

I’m really excited to have our new shop open. I’m looking forward to getting all sorts of nice treats there!
