Joyce happily gets one up on the Queen with her vaccine

Joyce Green receives her vaccine

She survived the Sheffield Blitz and at 101 years old she became Broomgrove Nursing Home’s first resident to get the Corona vaccine.

Joyce Green, who had her first jab last Friday (January 8th), said she was immensely proud to be number one and was extra proud “as I even had it before the Queen”!

30 care home residents and 50 staff have now received their first jabs at Dore Medical Surgery.

Broomgrove Manager Donna Pierpoint said it was a fantastic feeling to finally start to see some light at the end of the tunnel. 

“Though it’s early days and we’ve all got to have a second jab in a few weeks time, it felt like a weight had been lifted from us. The jab was totally painless and the whole operation was incredibly well managed by NHS staff.

“We all felt well after and I would absolutely encourage anyone and everyone to have the vaccine.”

Queen Elizabeth had her jab the day after Joyce Green – on Saturday, January 9th.

The care that my mum has received and continues to receive is second-to-none. The home is light, airy, beautifully maintained and very welcoming. The staff who know every resident and their individual needs are thoroughly professional and friendly and very kind. They ensure Mum is beautifully dressed and take time to apply perfume and hand cream which she loves. The food is excellent and varied. There is a team of staff who organise regular social activities as well as special events such as themed garden parties or musical/drama performances to which relatives are invited and made very welcome. It is made very clear that the care and support offered by the staff extends to the family and friends of the residents and never was this more apparent when Mum was discharged from hospital just before I was out of the country for a month. Whilst away I received photos of mum and regular updates which were very reassuring and much appreciated. I cannot recommend Broomgrove highly enough.

The home is extremely well run with warm and caring staff. The atmosphere is calm and relaxed despite the high level of activity.
