Heartwarming Viral Video: Seniors Enjoy a Silent Disco at Care Home 🎉

Adorable footage of OAPs taking part in a ‘silent disco’ at a care home has gone viral - after getting millions of views on TikTok.<br /><br />The hard-partying residents of Goodson Lodge in Trowbridge, Wilts., raked in over 4.5m views in just 72 hours after the footage was posted on the social media site.<br /><br />And the youthful users of the platform also shared their delight at the impressive set-up, with one saying: “If my retirement home isn't like this, I don't want it.”<br /><br />The home, run by not-for-profit provider The Orders of St John Care Trust (OSJCT), organised the event as part of their “Beat the January Blues” activities.<br /><br />Residents were each given a set of headphones where they could hear the tunes during the disco.<br /><br />And after they had their IDs ‘checked’ at the door by the ‘bouncer’, events manager Alex Damon, they were whisked onto the dance floor.<br /><br />Several of the residents were wheelchair-bound, but this didn’t stop them from taking hold of glow sticks and jiving away to the thumping baselines.<br /><br />Resident Judy Farr, who featured in the video, said: “It was rather exciting to be part of the silent disco and to enjoy a new experience. <br /><br />“I like to do new things and try new experiences, and I liked trying different music. I would do it again – there was a great playlist for everyone to enjoy!”<br /><br />TikTok users showered the pensioners with praise after seeing the video.<br /><br />One wrote: “This seems like the most wonderful nursing home everyone seems so lovely and caring it makes me so extremely happy and emotional.<br /><br />Another added: “Hope the care home I go into will have a mosh pit! But seriously this is amazing!<br /><br />A further commenter agreed, saying: “If I'm not being spun around in my chair at 90 to DnB [Drum and Base] then I don't want life.”<br /><br />While another user simply penned: “See you here in 30 years.”
