Residents and colleagues of the care home enjoyed meeting MP Andrew Gwynne and talking to him about what life is like at Greatwood House Care Home.

MP Andrew Gwynne enjoyed a tour around the 60 bedded residential and residential dementia care home. He had a tour of the hair salon, lounge, tearoom, ensuite bedrooms and gardens. 

Odette Lilley, Home Manager at Greatwood House Care Home, commented: “We were delighted to welcome MP Andrew Gwynne 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.” 

Mr Gwynne added: “I had lots of fun this morning making Christmas decorations with the residents and staff of Greatwood House Care Home in Denton, I’m always thoroughly impressed with the facilities and staff here. 

“Social care facilities such as Greatwood House are a core part of our healthcare system, and we’re making sure they get the funding they need. 

 “In the budget we announced the largest increase to carers allowance since the 1970s, and next year we’ll be setting out our long-term plan for social care.”
