There are birthdays, and then there are truly remarkable milestones – and today we celebrated one of the most special yet! A huge Happy 103rd Birthday to Doreen, who marked her big day surrounded by friends, fellow residents and our caring team here at Abbeyfield Hoylake & West Kirby.
The lounge at Lear House was full of smiles as everyone gathered to wish Doreen a wonderful day. There was laughter, tea, a few happy tears and, of course, cake – because no birthday is complete without it! Doreen’s warm spirit and gentle sense of humour made the afternoon all the more joyful, and we were honoured to share in such an incredible occasion.
Moments like this are what make life at Abbeyfield so special. Our friendly residential home for older adults is a place where every person is celebrated for who they are, and every milestone – big or small – is recognised with care and warmth. It’s all part of our commitment to caring for older people with dignity and respect, and ensuring our residents always feel valued, loved and part of a community.


Our team at Lear House always strives to create a homely environment for later life, where birthdays like Doreen’s become treasured memories. From decorations and balloons to heartfelt toasts, we make sure each resident’s special day feels truly personal.
So here’s to Doreen – 103 years young, full of laughter and wisdom, and surrounded by people who adore her. From all of us at Abbeyfield Hoylake & West Kirby, Happy Birthday!
