The event was also a welcoming party for the home’s new manager, Luke Owens.
Among those at the care home was Rotherham Deputy Mayor Cllr Alan Buckley and his wife Sandra, alongside Chairman of Dalton Parish Council Richard Gledhall.
Marie Curie volunteers Sue Pearson and June Stanley held a tombola for visitors and donated a Union Jack cake for the event.
Other visitors included members of community charity Rotherfed, Rotherham Hospice and local businesses.
