Darlington Court care home on The Leas, off Station Road, welcomed the people of Rustington through its doors for an event to celebrate Care Home Open Day.

Darlington Court was one of thousands of care homes across the UK which took part in the annual initiative aimed at challenging perceptions of care homes, connecting residents with even more people in their community, and developing relationships across the generations.

All the fun of the fair came to Darlington Court, with a fortune teller and photo booth proving popular at the open day.  Residents and visitors also enjoyed traditional funfair games and a barbecue, while live entertainment helped everyone get into the party spirit.

Fiona Wiederkehr, home manager at Darlington Court, said: “Our doors are always open, but Care Home Open Day was a brilliant opportunity to celebrate with visitors, residents and colleagues alike.  We all are proud of the warm and welcoming quality care environment we have created here at Darlington Court, and we took great delight in showcasing our home and all the good work we do here.

“The day was a real success, and everyone enjoyed getting involved in the activities and building on our links with the local community.”
