A Herefordshire care home is this year celebrating 20 years of delivering outstanding care to its residents.

Froome Bank care home in Bromyard marked the milestone with a celebratory party, including local guitarist and vocalist Dave Beale's performances of 60s and 70s hits. Long-serving employees were surprised with special presentations of certificates and gifts, too.

As well as residents, families and staff, the Mayor of Bromyard and Winslow, Councillor Mark Franklin, Jenny Franklin, Shaw Healthcare chief executive officer Russell Brown, chairman Simon MacSorley, board member Helen Black and regional operations manager Rachael Glover-Winfield also joined the proceedings.

Froome Bank service manager Paulina Kaminska said: “We have all enjoyed a lovely afternoon celebrating 20 years of providing care here at Froome Bank as well as recognising some of our long service members of the team.
