Care home celebrates first birthday in syle

Bayleaf Care Home, in Huntingdon, has celebrated it’s first birthday in style by hosting a very special party for the residents, families and the local community. 

Staff, residents and guests commemorated this special occasion with a BBQ, live music, a tombola, a magician and a visit from the Mayor of Huntingdon.  

Bayleaf Care Home has built up excellent reputations within its local communities since opening in June 2025. The home regularly holds events and activities for its residents and surrounding neighbours and is now seen as an important part of the Huntingdon community.
