This afternoon, I was invited to attend The Harefield Care Home’s summer party to show my support for Care Home Week 2023. It was great to see the care home decorated with bright colours inside and out, and residents in high spirits with a BBQ and entertainment for all.
I was pleased to meet with the residents, care home staff and management, to hear about the care they give their residents. It is clear that the staff care passionately about the residents, and I am grateful to all of them for their commitment. I had a number of interesting conversations with residents, many of whom have lived locally throughout their lives. Later in the event, children from a nearby primary school came by with presents for the residents.
The event served as an important reminder that The Harefield Care Home are there if support is needed, and from the level of attendance it is clear that the feeling is mutual.
