Care UK’s Manor Lodge care home in Chelmsford is inviting local people to visit the home on Manor Road on Friday 17th June to join in its celebrations for Care Home Open Day.

From 1pm until 3.30pm, the team at Manor Lodge will be opening the doors to the care home for a free family-friendly event. The day is in celebration of Care Home Open Day, a countrywide initiative to create lasting relationships between care homes and their local communities. 

Residents and visitors will be able to enjoy live entertainment from an accordionist, and those feeling lucky can get involved with the raffle. There will also be a buffet and a selection of homemade cakes.  

Juliana Miles, home manager at Manor Lodge, said: “Care Home Open Day is about connecting people and enriching the lives of residents through building lasting relationships with the local community across the generations.  

“Opening our doors is also a great opportunity to show what life is really like in a modern care home; and we hope to change any preconceptions people might have while also showing everything Manor Lodge has to offer. 

“We have got a fun day of activities planned and are really looking forward to getting behind Care Home Open Day on Friday 17th June and welcoming the people of Chelmsford to be a part of it.” 

Visitors to the Care Home Open Day event at Manor Lodge will also be able to pick up their copy of Care UK’s Eating as we Age.  The latest in a series of free guides for family carers, Eating as we age is packed with hints and tips for keeping healthy and hydrated in older age.  The guide can also be downloaded free at www.careuk.com/eat
