Local care home residents enjoy red carpet party to mark 40 years of bupa caring in communities

Last weekend, Ashby Court, hosted a glamorous ‘Ruby Red Carpet’ party to celebrate Bupa Care Homes’ Ruby Anniversary.

2025 marks an impressive 40 years since Bupa Care Homes opened its very first care home and started caring for communities across the UK, so Ashby Court organised their very own fashion show to commemorate the special occasion.

Residents and staff took to the runway in a display of creativity and confidence, donning both vintage and contemporary outfits.

Resident at Ashby Court, Joan Cherry, commented: “I had a wonderful time at the party. It was fun to celebrate with everyone and see everyone dressing beautifully for the occasion.”

Teresa Millar, Home Manager at Ashby Court, added: “This year marks a very special milestone for us –40 years of providing care services across the UK.

“The ‘Ruby Red Carpet’ party was a huge success with our residents, they loved every second, especially showcasing their style on the red carpet. We wanted to take the time to celebrate with our residents as it’s about honouring them and the joy, they bring our staff. The party was the first of many ways we plan to celebrate over the course of the year, and we look forward to a full year ahead of fun activities to continue the celebrations.”
