A devoted couple, who have been married for over 65 years, have celebrated Valentine’s Day with a special meal-for-two thanks to staff at their care home.
Alan and Mary Williams are residents at Croft House in Shotton Colliery, near Peterlee, County Durham. Alan, aged 88, moved into the care home in 2020, with his wife, 86-year-old Mary, joining him the following year.
Their differing health and social care needs mean they don’t share a room, but the couple, who married in 1954, spend lots of quality time together within the facility.
