St Clare’s Court, on Central Avenue – part of HC-One, the kind care company opened its doors to the community to take part in their creative celebrations for 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. It focuses on bringing those who live locally into care homes to break down misconceptions, showcase what life is really like in a care home, and to highlight the skills and dedication of local people working as carers. The aspiration of everyone having a better understand how kind care is delivered.
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.
St Clare’s Court Home Manager, Michelle Jones said: “Thank you to everyone who attended St Clares Court for Care Home Open Day. It is was a wonderful opportunity to bring the local community together and showcase how art is a fantastic way for our Residents to improve their wellbeing.”
