Hartlepool MP Jonathan Brash connects with residents at Hartlepool's Sheraton Court care home
Care home residents shared their views on a host of local and national visits during a visit by their MP.
Hartlepool Labour MP Jonathan Brash toured the town’s Sheraton Court as part of this year’s UK Parliament Week celebrations.
He took time to meet residents and colleagues, gaining insight into daily life at the 80-bed home, which offers both residential and residential dementia care.
Mr Brash was shown facilities including its café, hair salon, lounges, dining areas and its range of ensuite and premium bedrooms.
Residents shared engaged in lively discussions about community life and the role of Parliament.

Mr Brash said:“It was a real privilege to visit Sheraton Court. The care home is a wonderful place with excellent facilities and a warm and welcoming atmosphere. What truly stood out was the kindness and dedication of the staff, whose commitment to their residents shines through in everything they do. I loved my visit, and I am grateful for the outstanding care they provide to people in our community.”
