Casa Antonia, Nursing and Residential Home, stages many festivities during the year and Mother’s Day is definitely a very special one that all residents look forward to. To celebrate Mother’s Day, residents were joined by their loved ones for a sumptuous garden party.

Saturday turned out to be a bright sunny morning with a light breeze, just a beautiful day for the occasion. Casa Antonia’s garden was transformed into a magical festive setting, with flowery plants dotted around the pool, while live music of classic pop revivals set the party tone. The party started with a glass of prosecco, while juices, water, tea and coffee followed. In addition to a variety of plated finger food, including lampuki pies, there was also a candy table with lots of cookies, imqaret, cream rolls and delicious almond pastries for dessert.

A lovely gift was distributed to all female residents. Soft music was provided by Lino & Friends.

Casa Antonia General Manager Dr Sarah Cassar said: “For us, our female residents are all women with a mother’s heart. We ensure that each elderly resident is well cared for with love and receives our full attention and services. We enjoy organising traditional family occasions that give our residents a sense of home. They appreciate it.”
