ONE Residents’ unlikely dream was fulfilled at Cwrt-Clwydi-Gwyn Care Home, in Skewen, Neath, as she dined with a ‘Butler in the Buff’!
95-year-old Muriel Treszke has lived at the HC-One owned home since April 2022 and on the first day she met Eileen Coyle-Jones, Area Director in South Wales, she told her how she would love to see a ‘Butler in the Buff’.
After organising this with Colleagues, Relatives and Muriel herself, the wish was granted and on the 28th June, accompanied by her daughter, Ursula Morgan and fellow Resident, Verna, who Muriel invited to join her, they were served afternoon tea by ‘Butler in the Buff’, Matt.
The home’s incredible Chef Kris worked very hard creating lots of homemade scones, sandwiches and Muriel’s favourite; strawberries dipped in chocolate. Muriel has not had a drink for some time but really enjoyed her prosecco, that Matt served her, along with all the delicious treats.
They chatted about what music Muriel liked and about her life. She likes to dance so Matt looked for some songs suitable to her taste and asked if she would like to dance. He even gave her a twirl!
Muriel commented,
“It was one of the best days I have ever had and one I will never forget: Matt was a true gent and I really enjoyed our dance!”
Eileen Coyle-Jones, Area Director for South Wales, commented,
“The first day I met Muriel, she told me her dream. To see that dream fulfilled and the smile on her face was priceless!”
Ursula Morgan added,
“I knew the minute I walked in that this was the right home for mum, and this just proves that – her birthday surprise has made her so happy, it was an amazing day!”
Home Manager at Cwrt-Clwydi-Gwyn Care Home, Lisa Llewellyn, said,
“I am so proud that we can make our beautiful Residents’ dreams come true.”
