Have a look – and a go
CARE HOME OPEN DAY INCLUDES ARTS AND CRAFTS SESSIONS
ARTS, crafts, high tea and music will be on offer as a Uxbridge care home opens its doors to visitors this weekend.
Staff and residents at Clare House Bupa Care Home in Harefield Road, are getting ready to celebrate this year’s Care Home Open Day – when care homes in Great Britain are encouraged to open their doors and invite their local community ato see what enjoyable and stimulating places they can be to both live and work in.
The national calendar day encourages homes to celebrate a different theme each year, with key values at its heart: friendship, making connections and celebrating older and vulnerable people.
This year’s theme is celebrating the role of arts and Clare House is inviting people to join them on Saturday between 2pm to 5pm. At Clare House this year, guests can take part in arts and crafts sessions and demonstrations.
There will be live entertainment from singer, James Cowdery, for all to enjoy. Guests can also enjoy high tea and refreshments.
Jeanette Gittens, home manager at Clare House, said: “We’d love members of our community to come along and help us to celebrate Care Home Open Day – it’s a fantastic opportunity to bring people together, help build new friendships and celebrate older people in the community.
“We are looking forward to providing a taster of the extensive range of activities and events we have available at the home to increase the well-being of residents. We’ll also be on hand to offer an insight to anyone considering a move or a career alongside our passionate staff here at the home.”
