Hampton Grange and Gwen Walford Care Homes in Hereford recently had the honour of welcoming a very special visitor, the Mayor of Hereford, Kevin Tillett, through their doors. The Mayor was accompanied by his husband, Bob and their two beloved dogs, Skye the Collie and Bryn the Lurcher.

During his visit, the Mayor was eager to meet and chat with the residents, creating a warm and engaging atmosphere. The afternoon was made even more delightful with a scrumptious afternoon tea, featuring a delicious homemade cake crafted by the home’s Chef Lori.

As part of his visit, the Mayor extended a kind invitation to Lifestyle Coordinator Nicky and the residents for a guided tour of the Town Hall. In a memorable moment, Nicky also had the opportunity to try on one of the mayoral chains, looking very distinguished indeed. The visit was not just about tea and conversation; it also provided the perfect opportunity for the Mayor to meet the new Home Manager, Rebecca Protheroe. Rebecca shared her vision for the future of the homes, emphasising her commitment to exceptional care and their residents.
 
Rebecca Protheroe, Home Manager at Hampton Grange and Gwen Walford Care Homes, expressed her gratitude, saying, “We were absolutely delighted to welcome the Mayor and his guests into our homes. It was a wonderful opportunity for our residents to engage with such a respected figure in our community, and the visit brought so much joy to everyone. We are excited about the Mayor’s invitation to visit the Town Hall, and I’m looking forward to building on this connection to further enrich the lives of our residents.”
