Welcome home Muriel - Scarborough care home resident, aged 84, beats coronavirus

Muriel, who lives at Scarborough Hall in Mount View Avenue, tested positive for the virus while receiving treatment in Scarborough Hospital. After receiving excellent care and treatment, Muriel is now back at the home.

Staff, residents and guests commemorated the day with afternoon tea, while practising social distancing. “We made a great fuss over Muriel as everyone is thrilled that she has overcome the virus and returned to the home,” said Scarborough Hall general manager Charlotte Nurse.

“It has been all about celebrating Muriel’s return and it has been great fun for everyone.

“Our staff and the people who live here have really got involved with the celebrations and have really enjoyed themselves.

“In these unprecedented times with so much bad news in the media, we wanted to share the good news and give people some hope.

“I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff at Scarborough Hall for their dedication and commitment to the home not only at this time but over the years,” said Charlotte.

Scarborough Hall regularly holds events and activities for its residents and surrounding neighbours.

“We are playing our part in the wider care sector and supporting the NHS where possible,” said Charlotte.

“We are currently still taking admissions into our care home for those that need care in the next four weeks, so please do give us a call on 01723 381594 if you are looking for care or need any further help.”
