A CARE home welcomed in summer with a tropical party.

Residents at HC One Ghyll Grove Care Home in Basildon welcomed John Baron MP for Basildon and Billericay, who met residents and staff.

Mr Baron took the time to sit out in the sun and chat with everyone at Ghyll Grove, as they celebrated the arrival of summer with a tropical party at the home.

There were summer themed cocktails and delightful mocktails made by the kitchen team.

Care home manager, Deborah Fletcher, said: “We are very grateful to Mr Baron for taking the time to visit us here at Ghyll Grove.

“The residents were so excited to meet him, and we could tell that he had great fun as well.”
