STAFF and residents at West Oak Care Home gave a guided tour to a special visitor.

The Wokingham community was delighted to welcome the Mayor of Wokingham Town, Cllr Louise Timlin, for a morning of festive celebrations.

During her visit, Cllr Timlin met with residents, their families, and dedicated members of the care team.

She was given a guided tour of the home and gardens, and was able to see the wide range of facilities and the welcoming environment that West Oak provides.

Abdul Rifai, general manager at West Oak, said: “It was a real privilege to host Councillor Timlin and to introduce her to our exceptional team and wonderful residents.

“The visit was a fantastic opportunity to highlight the warm, inclusive community we have built here.
