TWO Herefordshire care homes are opening its doors today.
People can have a look around Waverley House in Leominster from 9.30pm to 4.30pm, while Woodside Resource Centre in Ross-on-Wye will also be opening its doors.
Waverley House offers a range of specialist nursing and residential care services for residents, including care for people with dementia.
Woodside is a purpose-built care centre, providing 15 day care places seven days a week.

Both care centres are owned by Shaw healthcare.
