Hide AdKnockhatch supported the home with extra staffing to allow the best experience possible.
Residents reminisced about using pedal cars in their youth, compared to motorised ones now and enjoyed racing each other, although no one could keep score.
Alex Leftley, lead activities coordinator said: “It is great to be able to work with the local community to be able to provide the best experiences possible for our residents.
"We like to think outside the box and ditch the stigma of what people think a typical care home looks like.
"I am proud of the job I get to do.”
