Larkland House is inviting local people to join in its celebrations for Care Home Open Day.

On Friday 28th June, from 10am - 4pm, the team at Larkland House will be opening the doors to the care home for a free family-friendly event to celebrate Care Home Open Day, a countrywide initiative to create lasting relationships between care homes and their local communities.

This year’s theme celebrates the role of arts within care, which is important in encouraging residents’ self-expression, and helps to create meaningful experiences.

Larkland House has organised an art-themed party to celebrate the open day, with entertainment, activities and creative fun. Visitors can look forward to polishing their skills in an arts and crafts session, and tapping their feet to live entertainment from a reminiscence singer, as well as putting their musical knowledge to the test with a quiz created by the team. To top off the day, guests will also be treated to a cream tea.

Maggie Candy, home manager at Larkland House, said: “Everyone at Larkland House is so excited to welcome the local community in for Care Home Open Day 2019. The people of Ascot have always been so welcoming to us, it’s great to be able to give something back.

“This year’s theme of ‘Celebrating Arts in Care’ is a wonderful opportunity for us to showcase all the brilliant activities we get up to on a daily basis here at Larkland House, such as our arts and crafts sessions, so we hope that lots of local people will join us on Friday 28th June.”
