Young at heart!
Earlier this month, an elderly woman celebrated her 103rd birthday with a rave-themed party in her care home, according to SWNS.
For the event, workers at the care home transformed one of their day rooms into a club, complete with neon balloons, flashing lights and glow sticks.

“Rather than just leave the residents to their own devices, there’s always something going on here,” he continued. “It’s a two-way thing — some residents can’t respond as well as others, but this room today is full of joy.”
John added: “If there’s ever a special occasion, they do push the boat out.”
In a statement of her own, care home manager Emma Phillips said, per SWNS, “We always plan special events for our residents’ birthday.”
“The team [has] worked incredibly hard on this party, but it’s not every day that someone turns 103,” she further explained.
