Resident transforms Hamilton care home into 'rave party'

Mary Frame, who lives at Abercorn House Care Home in Hamilton, headlined the event under her new stage name ‘DJ Frame’.

She was delighted to perform DJ duties with her son Ian Frame, a former professional DJ who arrived fully prepared with his own decks and laser lights.

To mark her debut behind the decks, Mary wore a personalised ‘DJ Frame’ t-shirt.

Throughout the event, Mary and Ian played a mix of residents’ favourite hits from the 50s through to the 80s, including Dancing Queen, Staying Alive, and the Loco-Motion.

Residents, staff, and loved ones filled the dancefloor, singing along to the music and showing off their best moves.

Ian, Mary’s son, said: “This event was such a great idea – what a great night. I haven’t seen mum enjoy herself so much – now I know why they call her the dancing queen.

“It was great to see so many residents sing along to some classics from the 50s to the noughties. It was also great to see families and staff dancing and enjoying themselves with glow sticks.”

There was also a buffet and colourful Jello shots available in both non-alcoholic options and with Bacardi.

 In true nightclub style, residents were asked to present ID cards at the ‘door’ that staff created especially for the event.

Von Ryan Ong, organiser of the event and the home’s activities coordinator, commented: “Mary was a little hesitant at first but absolutely loved being our resident DJ – she was beaming from ear to ear the whole time.

“At Abercorn House, we are always thinking of exciting ways to enrich our residents’ lives, and music brings so much joy, so what better way than to have our residents in charge of the playlist?”
