‘Mr Bean’ visits for a surprise birthday bash
The birthday party was a surprise and the ‘celebrity’ guest was a big secret. The service user, Ka beamed happily all day long while he opened his presents with Mr Bean, played with Teddy and even got to go as a passenger in the famous green mini.
‘Mr Bean’ was brilliant at making the birthday boy feel really special and in the spotlight. Along with Teddy, he brought along his battered suitcase from which he extracted a gift of a replica of the famous green mini.
His humour made the family occasion all the more festive. He was happy to attire himself in googly glasses and help unwrap presents with Teddy looking on, while Ka read his birthday cards.
A highlight gift, among the many presents from family and friends, was a huge Teddy toy exactly like the TV character presented by ‘Mr Bean’. Also gifted by Jothno Care was an iPad, shoes, colouring books and a backpack printed with photos of Ka together with the famous character to keep as a memory of his visit.
The client’s family were happy to see their son enjoy his day and said “Thank you to lovely ladies for their hard work for decorating the house for the surprise party and food.Thank you for lovely gifts and surprise party with Mr Bean.”
The joy and delight the visit brought was evident in every photograph.
The Jothno Care & Support management team and care team staff helped to decorate the house, provide food and presents, and arranged for the celebrity guest from Scarlett Entertainment.
Sharif Ahmed, owner of Jothno Care & Support says ‘we go out of our way to make our clients feel special on their birthdays but this was a particularly special occasion and we felt the need to make it a celebration to remember. Mr Bean was an obvious choice as the character is someone he loves to watch on TV.’
The home care agency has been supplying a care team for this service user for years. They provide daily support to help him live in his own home and manage everyday tasks like cooking, cleaning, dressing. They also accompany him to go out to do the activities he loves to do.
