HC-One’s Leighton Court Care Home in Wallasey, Wirral, was visited on Friday 13th June by MP for Wallasey & Minister for Border Security and Asylum,
Dame Angela Eagle.
Residents and colleagues of the HC-One owned care home enjoyed meeting their MP, Dame Angela Eagle, and chatting to her about what life is like at Leighton Court Care Home – which is an integral part of the local Wallasey community.
MP Dame Angela Eagle enjoyed a tour round the 47 bedded residential, nursing and nursing dementia care home, including the hair salon, lounge, ensuite bedrooms and gardens.
Marie Keating, Home Manager at HC-One’s Leighton Court Care Home, commented:
“We were delighted to welcome MP Dame Angela Eagle to our home. Everyone had a great time, chatting and discussing key issues they care about and what actions can be taken to overcome them.”
MP for Wallasey & Minister for Border Security and Asylum, Dame Angela Eagle, said:
“It was a pleasure to visit Leighton Court and discuss with residents and staff how they ensure high standards of care and community. The dedication and joy that I saw from staff was inspiring.
“I particularly appreciated listening to some wonderful piano playing from one of the residents, which staff and residents alike were enjoying together.
“Leighton Court provides a variety of activities and excursions for residents to enjoy with one another. Care Home Open Week continues that ethos of community-based fun and engagement by allowing members of the public to come in and spend time together, ensuring that residents can continue to feel connected to their neighbourhood.
“I would encourage people to pop down on Friday for some tea and biscuits, or to take part in the raffle and enjoy the entertainment. It is important that we show our appreciation for the older members of our society, and this initiative gives us that very opportunity.”
