Hertsmere’s outgoing Mayor made his last visit a worthy one when he joined a care home for a tea party.

Mayor Councillor Carey Keates joined care home staff, tenants and family and friends at The Mead, in Castleford Close, Borehamwood for a tea party to mark Dementia Awareness Week.

Party-goers were treated to tea and cake during the celebration, which was one of many held at the care home to mark the Alzheimer’s Society’s annual event.

Home manager Jeannie Crockett said: “We are so pleased with today’s tea party celebration – our homemade cakes are always so popular and went down a treat.

“Having the Mayor join us here today as well really made it special - Dementia Awareness Week is a really important event for us, and one that we hope to support every year.”
