Wonder swirls as seniors reclaim a youthful glow in a fun fashion shoot

Quick Smiles:

• The lifestyle team planned a surprise high-fashion makeover for residents.
• Staff shared jewelry, scarves, and accessories to complete the looks.
• Portrait prints will be displayed in a special lobby exhibition for everyone.

Residents at Maplewood Court in Maidstone were treated to a high-fashion makeover with vibrant wigs and glamorous accessories.

The creative staff organized the event to bring a sense of style and excitement to the home.

Using flower-studded wigs, giant pearls, and colorful sunglasses, the team turned the facility into a buzzing fashion studio.

The event aimed to give seniors a chance to go over the top and feel truly fabulous.

Centenarian Hilda Howes was delighted by the transformation during her turn in the spotlight.

“I loved it, they made me look 80, instead of 100! It was so much fun to dress up in all the bright clothes.”

Resident Violet Syers, aged 92, expressed her joy at having a permanent memento of the fun day.

“I’ll be able to look at it every day and see how fabulous I looked.”

Organizers said the vibrant afternoon significantly lifted spirits throughout the entire community.

Residents are now eagerly awaiting the arrival of their professional prints to decorate their rooms.
