As part of the seventh annual Care Home Open Day, HC-One’s Cedar House Care Home opened its doors to the community to take part in creative celebrations.
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. Participants could create anything from paintings, drawings, knitting, poetry, calligraphy and pottery – the choices were endless and allowed all talents to be showed-off.
This year’s open day was held in the form of a garden party, and the home was happy to welcome a former mayor of Hillingdon as well as a group of local school children, as entertainment was provided by regular singer, Val.
Everyone was able to enjoy a barbecue in the summer sunshine as they socialised with one another. A raffle was held alongside an art competition for all to get involved with, and the home were pleased to announce their raffle had raised just over £100.
Patience Sibanda, Home Manager, commented: “It’s been a wonderful open day and lovely to welcome the local community into our home. We hope to do it again soon.”
