THE oldest resident at Nynehead Court care home, 105-year-old Dina (Pat) Aldridge, has beaten coronavirus.

She has fully recovered after being cared for at Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton and is back at the home enjoying activities like she always has.

The virus has been successfully contained thanks to the home’s staff following Government guidelines, with support from local and health authorities. 

Nynehead Court manager Jo Fenn said: “With so many tragic stories of care homes where residents contract Covid-19 and do not recover, we’re so glad to share our story of a happy outcome for Mrs Aldridge. At 105 years old she is truly marvellous.”
