A care home in Leamington Spa is inviting the community to its free event aimed at keeping older people safe – particularly those who live alone.

On Friday 22nd November from 2pm-4pm, the Care UK team at Priors House, on Old Milverton Lane, will open the doors of the care home for its first ‘Safety in older age’ event.

Experts from the local fire and police service, as well as Age UK, will be on hand to share information and helpful tips on fire safety and protection against fraud. There will also be advice about a range of alarms and equipment to help older people maintain their independence in their own homes.

There will be information available to take home, and the opportunity to meet the friendly team at Priors House, as well as take a closer look at the care home.

Francine Summers, home manager at Priors House, said: “Here at Priors House, we strongly believe professional knowledge, insight and shared experiences can make a real difference to the everyday lives of older people and the loved ones who may be caring for them.

“Our free advice events always prove to be popular occasions for the local community, and while this is the first time we’ve held an event on this subject, we feel that as it is very topical and relevant in today’s society.

“We are looking forward to welcoming local people to Priors House for what promises to be an interesting and inspiring afternoon of information and guidance.”
