Fiona Pryce, wellbeing co-ordinator at Ailsa Craig, said: "Resident birthdays are always a fun time at Ailsa Craig, and we love to make it extra special for our residents and their families.
"Seeing Jenny and her sisters together sharing such joy after so many years apart was truly heart-warming and a testament to the power of family."
The idea for the reunion began when Jenny's sister Wendy, who lives in Oban, contacted Fiona and Ailsa Craig carer Obi Okoye.

Together, they secretly arranged an afternoon tea at the care home, inviting Jenny's other sisters Moyra and Heidi.
Jenny, who thought she was going for a walk in the garden, was delighted to find her sisters waiting for her in the lounge, wearing party hats.
The sisters spent the afternoon reminiscing and enjoying tea together over a special spread prepared by Ailsa Craig's kitchen team.
