Ash Court Care Home in Knotty Ash, Liverpool was visited on Thursday 8th February by Ian Byrne MP for Liverpool, West Derby.
Residents and colleagues of the HC-One owned care home enjoyed meeting MP Ian Byrne and chatting to him about what life is like at Ash Court – which is an integral part of the local Liverpool community.
Ian arrived and was welcomed by Home Manager, Emma Leigh, and given a tour of the residential and residential dementia care home where he was able to meet residents. He was interested in HC-One as a company and how the residents are cared for.
HC-One’s Area Director, Paul Allam, discussed the current challenges facing the social care sector with Ian.

Ian explained new different schemes within the community which Ash Court would be able to access for residents, which colleagues are very excited about.
Emma Leigh, Home Manager at Ash Court Care Home, commented:
“We were delighted to welcome Ian Byrne, MP for Liverpool, West Derby to our home.
“I showed Ian around Ash Court, where he stated our home was nice and clean. Ian asked me about what it was to work throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and whether we had felt supported by local government. I told him about the difficulties for care homes and staff that were working throughout and my own personal experiences at that time in which he was very interested in what I was talking about.”
