RORY VISITS LOCAL RESIDENTIAL HOME

Rory visited Winters Park Residential Home to meet residents and discuss care issues with the Manager.

Winters Park Residential Home, run by Susan Thompson, General Manger, is located in a peaceful part of Penrith and supports up to 40 residents at any given time. Mrs Thompson was pleased to show Mr Stewart around the home, introducing him to a number of residents. Mr Stewart was delighted to have conversations with some of the residents, discussing a variety of topics from the Black Watch, whom Mr Stewart served with, to the world cup and which teams would make the final.

After the tour, Mr Stewart discussed with Susan Thompson the current issues surrounding the running of residential home and how ensuring the happiness of the residents is always their top priority.

Mrs Thompson praised her staff and the dedication they put into looking after the residents. After the visit she said: “The residents and staff at Winters Park very much appreciated the visit we had from Rory. He engaged with several residents which proved extremely interesting. A very pleasant and interesting morning for our home”.

Rory Stewart said: “It was wonderful to meet staff and residents at Winters Park. The Home has a very lovely atmosphere, and I very much enjoyed meeting everyone. I would like to say thank you to Susan and her team for all their hard work, strength and devotion”.
