Stephen Metcalfe MP takes part in National Care Home Open Day in Basildon
Stephen Metcalfe, the local MP for South Basildon and East Thurrock, has visited Basildon’s Oaklands and Cameron House care homes as part of the National Care Home Open Day.
Care Home Open Day is a UK wide initiative inviting care homes to open their doors to their local communities.
Thousands of care homes across the UK take part each year, welcoming the public and arranging events and activities that help to create lasting links between care home residents and their local communities.
On his two visits, Stephen Metcalfe had a chance to meet the staff and residents, and talk about politics and issues relating to the care sector.
Stephen Metcalfe, speaking after the day’s events, commented: “It was great to take part in National Care Home Open Day in Basildon. I had a lot of fun meeting the residents and all of the hardworking staff at Oaklands Care Home in Langdon Hills and Cameron House in Pitsea.”
“National Care Home Open Day is a great opportunity for various care homes across the country to open their doors to local communities. I believe it is a great opportunity, not just for the residents, but also for the rest of the public. It is important that we all learn as much as we can about the issues that affect our great care sector”.
