"They continue to work tirelessly, and I’m proud of the professionalism and duty of care they uphold.
"It is also lovely to celebrate our residents who were nurses themselves and thank them for all the hard work they did during their careers."
Residents Jean and Molly wrote heartfelt poems about their feelings toward the nurses.
Messages of thanks were also shared from the managing director and nursing director.
