Gwenda Thomas visits Shire Hall

Deputy Minister for Health and Social Services, Gwenda Thomas paid a visit to Shire Hall care home in Cardiff Bay. Home Manager, Kieron Walsh invited her to visit the care home following the announcement of the new dignity in care award at the Wales Care Awards.

Kieron wanted to show Gwenda all the facilities that Shire Hall has to offer including the hydrotherapy bathrooms, air conditioning, hair & beauty salon, cinema, spacious en suite bedrooms and specialist units for dementia care and young physically disabled.

Gwenda spent several hours at Shire Hall, being taken round the facilities as well as spending time with all of the residents. She spoke to some of them in Welsh and sat looking at photographs with others.

Kieron Walsh commented: "We were delighted that Gwenda Thomas took time out of her busy schedule to come and visit Shire Hall and our residents. All the residents enjoyed meeting her and some even spoke to her in Welsh. I was honoured to show Gwenda around Shire Hall and to demonstrate the high standard of facilities and care that we offer our residents."
