Yesterday, Ryland View Care Home was filled with music, laughter, and heartfelt moments as an Elvis impersonator paid a memorable visit. The event turned out to be an afternoon to remember for both residents and staff.Mick, one of the residents, requested to sing a song of his choice, moving his mother and staff to tears as they witnessed how far he has come since arriving at Ryland View. “It’s so lovely to see my son back to being himself,” said his mother, Margaret. “He has come so far, and I thank you all!”

Elvis danced his way around the room, encouraging residents to get up, wave their arms, and join in a good old sing-along. Resident Gary was particularly enthusiastic, dancing with Elvis and the staff to classic hits.

“This Elvis is fantastic,” exclaimed Robert H, another resident. “I have enjoyed it so much, and I can’t wait to get a picture with him!” Elvis made the event even more special by handing out scarves he had made for the residents as keepsakes.

Hazel, a resident who had eagerly anticipated the visit, shared her excitement: “I’ve been waiting all week for this. I put on my makeup especially and even joked about proposing to Elvis. I cannot wait for him to come back again in July; it’s already marked in my diary!”

Jess, the Ryland View Admin, expressed the joy the event brought to the home: “This has been one of the best afternoons here for a while. Seeing all of our residents up dancing, singing, and enjoying themselves honestly brings me so much joy!”
