Bruce MP visits Cledford House in Carers Week
Fiona Bruce MP visited
Cledford House, Cledford Lane, Middlewich for their open day last week to meet
with residents and carers for a tour and afternoon tea.
Cledford House
is one of Cheshire’s newest and friendliest homes offering residential and
respite provision to adults with learning disabilities.
Following her visit Fiona Bruce said
“I was extremely impressed with the quality of the accommodation offered at
Cledford House which is clearly the result of a huge amount of thoughtful
planning -and hard work!"
The visit comes
as national Carers Week (8-14 June) approaches, the theme of which is ‘Carer Friendly
Communities’. ‘Carer Friendly Communities’ are aware of the indispensable part
played by unpaid carers and encourage everyone, individuals, businesses, public
services to make life better for carers. One in eight people are likely to be a
carer and every day 6000 people take on new caring responsibilities and the aim
of Carers Week is to raise awareness of these unpaid, invaluable carers.
Fiona said “I
was pleased to be able to visit Cledford House as part of Carer’s Week because
it is a place embodying the spirit of a ‘Carer Friendly Community’.
