ST HELENS has received £225,000 to improve care for the elderly.

Care services minister Ivan Lewis announced the funding as part of a nationwide government package.

Cash will be used to replace worn out carpeting, upgrade dining rooms, bedrooms and bathrooms and improve gardens and outdoor spaces. Information technology will also be provided for residents. Mr Lewis said: “By distributing this funding to 27 care homes in St Helens, and to 7,000 throughout England, we are able to improve the lives of tens of thousands of people and their families.”
