HC-One’s Springfield House care home in Low Fell, Gateshead opened its doors to friends, family and representatives from a local business to celebrate the seventh annual Care Home Open Day.
Care Home Open Day is a national event that gives local people the opportunity to learn more about the care services at the heart of their community.
This year’s theme was ‘Celebrating Art in Care,’ with HC-One launching a national Art Competition to encourage, Residents, their loved ones, colleagues and neighbours to unleash their creativity and design their own masterpiece.
Everyone at Springfield House was overjoyed when representatives from their local Poundstrecher visited to donate sweets and chocolates for Residents, members of the team and guests to enjoy.
Artwork created by Residents was displayed throughout the home, everyone enjoyed chatting and sharing stories throughout the day. Residents commented that it was wonderful to share a special day with their local community.
Springfield House Home Manager, Lee Dale commented: “Thank you so much to everyone who came along and supported our home, especially Poundstrecher for their very generous donation.”
