Care home hired pole dancers to put on show for elderly residentsCare homes have tried everything from art lessons to visiting children in an attempt to keep their residents occupied. Now one home has gone a step further and introduced pole dancing as part of their entertainment programme.Six women took part in the show carried out to 1950s and '60s music which received an “overwhelmingly positive” reception from residents.A metal pole was erected in the communal lounge where the women performed a series of acrobatic moves to songs by Abba and Frank Sinatra. Local councillors however cast doubts over the performance, labelling it as “inappropriate” for nursing homes.
