Sisters are residing together at Chetwynd House Care Home.
There’s not a hint of sibling rivalry when you meet Nottinghamshire-born sisters, Maureen (84) and Margaret (82). In fact, you’d say the exact opposite of the pair who are so close, and are living together at Chetwynd House Care Home in Chilwell, Nottinghamshire.
“I love my sister more than anything, I originally moved to Chetwynd House because I didn’t want to be alone and the home has such a community feel. It really does feel like home. I am so glad Maureen chose to join me here,” said Margaret.
Maureen added: “We’ve had the odd squabble in our time, but mostly, we just get on like friends more than sisters. It’s great living together, we have a lot to talk about and both enjoy the resident clubs and activities here. It’s like we’ve never been apart!”
“We think it’s wonderful that Margaret and Maureen have chosen to live together here at Chetwynd House. They tell us they used to get up to mischief and listening to them reminisce with tales of their childhood, it’s clear they have experienced so much of their lives together. Their bond is remarkable and it’s truly heart-warming that they are able and choose to be together now,” said Kate Gilvear, Home Manager.
