At a time when news of the aged care sector is darkened by the Royal Commission, it’s refreshing to see a story that brightens your day, like this heart-melting footage of an elderly US couple celebrating their 72nd anniversary in an aged care home.
Staff at Grace Manor Care Center in Colorado got word that Leonard and Shirley Matties, both 91, were planning a celebration to mark the occasion and they made sure the love birds pulled out all stops by capturing the moment with a photoshoot.
The footage shows Shirley, looking resplendent in a pink gown, lighting up her husband’s face as she is wheeled down the hall and into his warm embrace.
We strongly advise you give it a watch here.
