A care home has hired pole dancers to keep its elderly residents entertained.
Pictures from the latest performance show residents watching the dancers acrobatically spin around a metal pole in sports bras and knickers.
It’s been branded ‘inappropriate’ by local councillors, who said they were ‘staggered’ by the choice of entertainment.
But bosses at Fairmile Grange home in Christchurch, Dorset, defended its decision to hire the dancers, the youngest being 10-years-old. Izzy Nicholls, operations and quality director for Encore Care Homes, which runs Fairmile Grange, said: ‘At Fairmile Grange, relatives and residents requested more modern-style activities.

‘It’s not really the sort of entertainment I would have thought that the residents wanted or would have encouraged,’ he said.
Councillor Denise Jones added: ‘I’m a bit staggered about it. While I’m always delighted to see the horizons of older people widened, I’m not sure that includes pole dancing.’
