Resident Story
Fashion conscious Joan Spreckley feared she would never walk
again when she broke her hip earlier this year. But, just a few
months later, the determined 97 year old was back on her feet
again, helped by the Well-being Advisor at ExtraCare's Rosewood
Court retirement scheme in Wellingborough. She was able to
celebrate in style when they took her on a special trip to London
Fashion Weekend.
