But overall, a nursing home doesnโt strike me as the place to be on a weekend night.
So when the staff at a care home, called Milton Lodge, in Essex, decided that their residents deserved to have their day spiced up a bit, they knew exactly what to do.
Instead of hiring a washed-up musician to play a few songs for the residents, or a sub-par comedian to tell some jokes, the staff booked a very special dinner for the elderly ladies in the home.
Thereโs a company called โHunks in Trunksโ that offers minimally-clothed and extremely muscular men-for-hire.
For this particular service, these men would be serving their clients a three-course meal wearing nothing but aprons.
Claire Martin, who is the activities co-coordinator at Milton Lodge, told reporters that it was one of the residents who actually came up with the idea-89-year-old Joan Corp.
Claire said, โWhenever you ask Joan what she wants that day she always says โa man.โ So we werenโt surprised when she wanted it to be her wish. We had a chat here and everyone was really keen to support it. We had a look online and found a company called Hunks in Trunks. When they turned up we had to let them know what we wanted them to do. They had a three-course meal with a roast dinner. The ladiesโ daughters and granddaughters came. We asked them to do some harmless flirting, it doesnโt matter how old you are, so why not?โ
The two men served the elderly women, along with their daughters and granddaughters, and didnโt shy away from having a little bit of fun with the residents.
The women had such a good time that Doll Jenkins, who happens to be the oldest resident living there, requested to have the buff butlers back for her 100th birthday later that year.
Another resident, Gladas Smith, 82, told reporters, โI had the front seat. It made quite a change and the boys done well. It was a good evening.โ
