Residents at Elizabeth Lodge welcomed local people for a world cuisine party to celebrate Care Home Open Day.

Elizabeth Lodge was one of thousands of care homes across the UK to take part in the annual initiative aimed at challenging perceptions of care homes, connecting residents with people in their community, and developing relationships across the generations.

To celebrate the open day, the team at Elizabeth Lodge hosted a world cuisine party where residents and visitors enjoyed a delicious selection of treats inspired by cuisines from around the world, including Arabian delights. Local dance group, Badra Bellydance also got everyone in the party spirit with a live performance.

Beatrice Oriowo home manager at Elizabeth Lodge, said: “Our doors are always open, but Care Home Open Day is a particular highlight each year as it is a brilliant opportunity to showcase our home and celebrate with visitors, residents and colleagues alike.

“This year’s event was a real success, and everyone enjoyed the entertainment and building our links within the local community. We hope that all our visitors enjoyed themselves as much as we did and look forward to welcoming them back to the home for events in the future.”
