RESIDENTS in an ‘extra care’ scheme at Muchelney House in Ilminster were treated to a surprise when staff dressed up to sing carols to them.

Yarlington’s retirement living staff have a number of visits planned across schemes in South Somerset during December, to bring festive cheer to residents.

“Some of our residents are less mobile so have to rely on what we can bring to them, and we decided this was a way to get staff together and celebrate Christmas,” said extra care manager Jan Skeemer.
