THE HAZELWELL OPENED IT ’ S DOORS AT CHRISTMAS
A care home in the Wirral dished up free Christmas dinners to elderly residents in the town in an effort to tackle what can be a lonely time of a year .
The Hazelwell , a new ‘ all inclusive ’, residential , nursing , palliative and respite care home in Heswall , organised the three-course charitable lunch followed by an afternoon of entertainment for those who may have ended up spending Christmas Day alone last year .
Guests enjoyed a traditional Christmas dinner with all the trimmings and a glass of bubbly all prepared by head chef Steve Devenport .
The Hazelwell is a £ 5.5million-pound development built on the old site of the Cleaver Hospital and opened last summer . Its leisure facilities include a home cinema , salon and nail bar , gym , library and a stunning rooftop terrace with views over the River Dee .
The Hazelwell care home manager Liza Millington said : “ Christmas can be a very lonely time for lots of people and many may have ended up spending it alone .
“ Here at The Hazelwell , we wanted to do something for the community in the lead up to Christmas which would give elderly pensioners , who have no family around them , some companionship and festive cheer . It also gave them the chance to see what life at The Hazelwell is like .
“ Residents and guests enjoyed a delicious Christmas dinner and some made new friends . It was a memorable day with a great festive atmosphere .”
