Britain’s Got Talent….At Holywell House!

 

Each of our residents brings something special to our home and they all play a part in creating the happy, joyful and peaceful home it is. Doreen Round is one resident who lives with us and absolutely blows us away with her magically marvellous musical talent!

She plays the keyboard exceptionally well, entertaining us all throughout the week, morning or night. She spreads happiness and smiles across the home and is wonderfully talented.

Jen Ord, our deputy manager at Holywell House, said: “If a resident is a bit quiet, feeling down or simply not themselves Doreen is always there, on hand, to spend some time with them, show them her talents on the keyboard and encourage them to sing along with her too. She’s always happy, socialising and lifting people’s moods if they’re having a bad day or simply not feeling themselves. She has such a positive outlook on life and it’s great to have her around you.”

Doreen also has a good pair of lungs on her and regularly sings some fabulous classics from the good old days as she plays the keyboard. We hope to organise a talent show soon and invite family and friends along. Doreen will definitely be the star of the show!
