To commemorate the milestone, the team at the home presented gifts to the home's first residents.

A petting zoo also visited, allowing residents and guests to interact with donkeys, sheep, and goats in the garden.

Alana Corr, home manager, said: "We were delighted to welcome visitors to Cuttlebrook Hall as we celebrated our first birthday alongside residents.

"The past year has been filled with wonderful moments for everyone at the home, residents and team members alike, and we have no plans to slow down as we look ahead to creating more memorable experiences for residents in the next year, and beyond.

"I’d like to extend a huge thank you to our dedicated team for making Cuttlebrook Hall a wonderful place to call home. This was certainly a birthday to remember."
