VALE MP Alun Cairns has presented the Old Rectory Care Home, in Wenvoe, with an Investors in Care award.

The home provides residential care for older people with dementia, and Barry personal fitness provider FitM8 has offered dedicated activity services to help residents do more on a daily basis.

Mr Cairns said: “The partnership between the Old Rectory and FitM8 is a fantastic example of an approach to care that, first and foremost, supports residents. Dementia is a growing issue that has a major impact on many families in the Vale, and I fully support any activity that brings residents together. This award is testament to a new and considered approach to care in Wenvoe.”
