Residents at Homemanor House in Cassio Road, Watford, had extra cause for celebration at their Christmas party last week.

All the residents and staff got together to mark the achievement in the home being Highly Commended at the Elderly Accommodation Council’s National Housing Awards.

The awards, which were held in Birmingham and featured Edwina Currie, celebrate the best retirement housing across the UK.

Homemanor is a Peverel Retirement-managed development.
