Echelforde is inviting local people to join in its celebrations for Care Home Open Day.
On Friday 28th June, from 11am-4pm, the team at Echelforde, on College Way, will be opening the doors to the care home for a free family-friendly event to celebrate Care Home Open Day, a countrywide initiative to create lasting relationships between care homes and their local communities.
This year’s theme celebrates the role of arts within care, which is important in encouraging residents’ self-expression, and helps to create meaningful experiences.
Echelforde has organised an art-themed party to celebrate the open day, with entertainment, activities and creative fun. Visitors can look forward to arts and crafts workshop, classical music by a live singer and plenty of tea, coffee and delicious cakes.
Jagpal Singh, home manager at Echelforde, said: “Everyone at Echelforde is so excited to welcome the local community in for Care Home Open Day 2019. The people of Ashford have always been so welcoming to us, it’s great to be able to give something back.
“This year’s theme of ‘Celebrating Arts in Care’ is a wonderful opportunity for us to showcase all the brilliant activities we get up to on a daily basis here at Echelforde, such as art and crafts and we hope that lots of local people will join us on Friday 28th June.”
