One couple has proved that it’s never too late to find love, since falling for each other at a Signature care home
Genevieve Mosely, 90, and Ernest Bradbury, 85, whose rooms are opposite one another, are now inseparable after meeting at Signature Moorlands Lodge in Hindhead in Surrey. And even celebrated Valentine’s Day together with fellow residents over a romantic lunch hosted by the home.
Genevieve and Ernest first met at Moorlands Lodge in Autumn 2020, after Ernest moved from Wales to be closer to his family.
However, Ernest was to find another reason to stay after quickly falling in love with his neighbour.
Genevieve, who has lived at Moorlands Lodge since 2015, was on hand to make her future companion feel comfortable from his first day in his new home.
The couple said: “Above all the things we have in common, the thing we value most is simply enjoying ourselves and having a laugh.
“We are both so fortunate to be able to live together and enjoy the fun that life can offer. We have each other, our friends, and the great staff at Moorlands Lodge.
“We love having each other’s company, and couldn’t think of a nicer, more relaxing setting to be able to share together.”
Speaking of their special relationship, Thomas McGlashan, Client Liaison Manager at Signature Senior Lifestyle, said: “It is so wonderful to see Ernest and Genevieve happy together, and I am thrilled Moorlands Lodge has played a small part in helping them find one another.
“We pride ourselves on residents having a fulfilled, active life filled with fun and laughter – something that is particularly evident with Ernest and Genevieve!”
Ernest and Genevieve enjoy similar food, musical entertainment, and socialising as part of a wider circle of couples at Moorlands.
Their companionship and togetherness helped one another through the COVID-19 pandemic and the restrictions that came with it, when care homes faced constraints on welcoming visitors.
