Each month three individuals will be awarded ‘Resident of The Month’, receive a medal and be able to sit at the captain’s table for lunch each day.


Their first stop is France, where their chef has already put together an amazing menu including Croque Monsieur, Coq au Vin and a section of wines and cheeses.
Caitlin said: “The idea came during a reminiscence session with our co-ordinator. Kate loved to holiday with her family and misses the thrill of being able to travel.
