AN EVESHAM care home is celebrating 20 years of looking after its residents.
The Hawthorns marked the milestone with a celebratory party which included entertainment from local guitarist, Griff Collins, who performed hits from the 60s and 70s.
As well as residents, families and staff, other guests included Councillor Emma Stokes, Wychavon District Council chairman Coun Robert Raphael, and chief executive officer for Shaw Healthcare, Russell Brown.
There were also long service presentations, with a special mention for support worker Sharon Bailey, who has worked at the home ever since it opened back in 2003.
Service manager Mary Tasker said: “We have all enjoyed a lovely afternoon celebrating 20 years of providing care here at The Hawthorns.
“Recognising this significant milestone is important, and I would like to pay tribute to the staff who work hard to ensure that we provide the high standard of care we would want for our loved ones.”
The Hawthorns care home is operated by Shaw Healthcare and provides residential care for up to 46 people including those living with dementia.
Shaw is the largest employee-owned care provider in the UK.
