Residents at Ilkeston care home enjoy visit from MP

Adam in conversation with staff at the Victoria Park Home

The Member of Parliament for Erewash has paid a visit to an Ilkeston care home.

Adam Thompson met with residents of the Victoria Park Care Home on Friday 18th July. 

Letitia White is the Home Manager and said that everyone enjoyed meeting Adam, and chatting with him about what life is like in the home, which was described as "an integral part of the local community".

Adam enjoyed a tour round the site and looked at the facilities and outdoor space.

Letitia said: “We were delighted to welcome Adam Thompson 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.” 

Adam Thompson said: “It was great to get to look around Victoria Park Care Home and have a sit-down meeting with managers, speak to some of the front-line carers and of course a few of Victoria Park’s residents.

“It was very exciting to hear about forthcoming planned upgrades in the care home, both imminent and planned for the future, and I would love to come back soon to see them when completed.”

Adam is planning to return to Victoria Park Care Home in the near future once the home’s refurbishment is complete to view the newly decorated facilities as well as to have a meet and greet with those in the home and the local community who would like to visit the home for a coffee and refreshments.
