Lincoln MP Hamish Falconer Brings UK Parliament Week To Life With I Visit To Care Home
Residents and colleagues at HC-One’s Altham Court Care Home in Lincoln, Lincolnshire welcomed Hamish Falconer, MP for Lincoln and Parliamentary Under-Secretary at the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, for a special visit on Friday 28th November as part of UK Parliament Week.
The visit offered Mr Falconer the opportunity to explore Altham Court’s welcoming and modern facilities, including the hobby room, quiet room, hair salon, café, and beautiful gardens, while meeting residents and learning about daily life at the 46-bed home, which provides both nursing and residential care.
During his time at the home, Mr Falconer enjoyed conversations with residents and colleagues, hearing first-hand about their experiences, community involvement, and the dedicated care provided by the Altham Court team. The visit reinforced the home’s ongoing commitment to creating meaningful community connections and maintaining a warm, inclusive environment for all who live and work there.
UK Parliament Week, celebrated annually, encourages communities across the UK to engage with the democratic process and learn how Parliament influences everyday life. Altham Court’s participation in the week gave residents a valuable opportunity to connect with their local MP and share their views on local and national issues.
Anna Livsey, Home Manager at Altham Court Care Home, said:
“It was a wonderful experience having Hamish Falconer visit Altham Court and see life in our home firsthand. Our residents really enjoyed the opportunity to share their stories and ask questions about Parliament and local issues. Visits like this mean so much to everyone, they help our residents feel heard and connected to the wider world.”
Hamish Falconer, MP for Lincoln, commented:
“Thank you to everyone at Altham Court for such a warm welcome. It’s always a pleasure to return, and I was delighted to see the residents and staff taking part in UK Parliament Week. Their enthusiasm for public life and community engagement is genuinely uplifting, and I’m grateful for the vital work the team does every day.”
