Oakdene and Ashdene care homes joined forces to hold the black tie event at Kesteven and Sleaford High School.
Proceeds from the event – which featured music from Night Shift and Elvis impersonator Mike Shelby – went towards entertainment for residents. In all, more than £1,000 was raised.
Jilly Hunt, deputy manager at Ashdene Care Home, said: “We are made up with the amount we raised and we had an excellent night.”
