Bradford East MP David Ward has visited Ashcroft Care Home in Undercliffe to mark the UK’s first National Care Home Open Day.

The Open Day on Friday is the first time that care homes across the country have collectively opened their doors to the public on the same day.

Ashcroft manager Bev Gallagher, said: “National Care Home Open Day is a fantastic chance for us all to show why we are so proud to work in the care sector. There is a stigma often associated when an older person moves into care and we want to challenge that.”
