The opening was attended by over 70 invited guests, including Trustees of the Plaxton Court Charitable Trust, whose generous donation had made Plaxton Court possible.

Judith Hannah, General Manager of Plaxton Court, said: "Our aim is to support older people to live independently in their own home, through services that promote good health and social well-being. We are delighted with how popular Plaxton Court has proved to be locally, we only have a few properties remaining and many non-residents have already signed up to our social membership scheme."

Members of the public are invited to attend an open day at Plaxton Court on Sunday 20 July, between 12 noon and 4:00pm. This is an opportunity to view the accommodation and leisure facilities and also speak informally to members of staff. For further information contact:
