Francis Court is inviting local people to join in its celebrations for Care Home Open Day.

On Friday 20th April, from 11am-5pm, the team at Francis Court will be opening the doors to the care home for a free family-friendly event. The day is in celebration of Care Home Open Day, a countrywide initiative to create lasting relationships between care homes and their local communities.

Francis Court has organised a Commonwealth themed party to celebrate the open day, with residents creating homemade bunting inspired by countries from around the Commonwealth to decorate the home. Visitors can look forward to an afternoon of live entertainment, including performances by a magician and a jazz band. Guests will be treated to complimentary refreshments, as well as having the chance to meet the Francis Court team and take a look around the home. 

Mary Ann Ballesteros, home manager at Francis Court, said: “Care Home Open Day is about connecting people and enriching the lives of residents by building lasting relationships with the local community that span the generations.  

“Residents have enjoyed taking inspiration from countries across the Commonwealth and creating bunting ready to decorate the home on Care Home Open Day. We cannot wait to open our doors to showcase the residents’ homemade decorations and everything that Francis Court has to offer. We have planned a fun day for all the family and a warm welcome awaits the people of Copthorne.”
