MP praises care in the community

He took a tour of facilities and met friends, families and members of the community.

National Care Home Open Day is a UK wide initiative inviting care homes to open their doors to their local communities.

Mr Whittaker said: “Our care homes are an important part of our community and we should always make time to engage with the residents, some have fascinating stories to tell.
