All shook up – ‘The King’ visits Horsham care home residents

It was party time for residents at a Horsham care home when Elvis entered the building, and entertained everyone with rock ‘n’ roll classics.

Residents at Care UK’s Skylark House, on St Marks Lane, were taken back to the 1950s with a performance of Elvis’ greatest hits, including Blue Suede Shoes, Hound Dog and Jailhouse Rock. 

 

Dorota Woloszyn, Home Manager at Skylark House said: “The Elvis impersonator was a huge hit and helped create a fantastic atmosphere throughout the afternoon. There was certainly a little less conversation and a lot more dancing happening at Skylark House, with many of the residents and team members singing along, tapping their feet and getting into the party spirit.

“For many of the residents, Elvis represents the music they grew up with, so hearing his best songs brought back many happy memories from their younger years.

“We are already planning our next event – although Elvis remains very much on everyone’s minds!”

Skylark House has been designed to deliver the very best standards of care and to enable residents to live active and fulfilled lives. The home provides full time residential, nursing and dementia care, as well as short term respite and palliative care.
