Richard had a great time at Greenways Court Consett to see their award-winning care.
Commenting on his visit, Richard said:
"Today, I met May - originally from Tow Law - at Greenways Court in Consett - one of over 50 residents at the award-winning care home that I was delighted to visit today.
"Huge congratulations to Kinga Kowaliczek on her award. I spoke to Kinga during the really difficult time for her sector during the pandemic. And have been delighted to see her crowned the winner of The Care Home Registered Manager Award category at the National Great British Care Awards 2022, that took place at the ICC Birmingham.
"Best wishes to Kinga and her team and to May and all the lovely residents I met today."
