Couple find love in care home

Care home couple Sian Walley and Steve Ferrier have become engaged – after staff at Highfield House in Wrexham prepared a romantic meal for the pair.

During the meal – which staff served on a table covered in rose petals – Steve plucked up the courage to propose to girlfriend Sian, who accepted.

Steve said: “She’s an amazing personality and, well, we just love each other to bits. That’s all there is to it.

“I’d already decided to ask her to marry me. I didn’t have the ring at that time as I wanted to take her out and let her chose it herself. I’m glad I did it that way."

Sian, 45, added: “When I first came into the care home I was devastated. It wasn’t where I wanted to be. It wasn’t the actual place but the fact it was a care home and the thought of living in a care environment was devastating.

“But after meeting Steve he gave me hope and something to live for. I love it here, and I know Steve does too."

Care home manager Tracey Cuthill said: “It has made a massive difference to them both. They are content, happy and have embraced the environment they now live in.

“They support each other and are really good for each other."
