LADIES from Newton Abbot WI were recently invited to a care home in the town to meet the residents and staff.

Bev and Karen were warmly welcomed at Lake View Residential Home at the invitation of the home’s event organiser Gemma.

‘We spent a lovely time in the beautiful garden with some residents and staff learning about the lovely events they have to enrich their lives’, said Karen Jenks, Newton Abbot WI’s press officer.

‘We will be going back, taking some backed dementia fiddle blankets and muffs, for the residents to choose the items they'd like on their own ones.

‘We hope to visit as often as we can’, Karen added.

Lake View Residential Home is a detached Victorian villa which has been extended and adapted.
