Maidenhead care home hosts sports day for local community

With the Olympics fast approaching, a local care home is limbering up for its very own sporting tournament.

On Wednesday 24^th July from 2pm-4.30pm, Care UK’s Clara Court, on Courthouse Road, will be bringing Paris to Maidenhead as it opens its doors for local people to enjoy their own version of the Games. 

The event comes as Clara Court joins The Big Care UK Sports Day, which sees over 130 Care UK homes across the UK host sports days for the local community and showcase what life in a care home is really like. 

Guests can soak up the sporting atmosphere and, for those daring to compete, have the chance to win their own gold medals with an afternoon of fun and games, including egg-and-spoon races, bean bag toss and water sponge relay. 

Visitors can also enjoy refreshments alongside a performance from Elvis impersonator, Gary Roman. 

Gladys Chironga, Home Manager at Clara Court, said: “We’re delighted to be welcoming the local community to join our own sporting celebrations.  

“We are part of a strong community here in Maidenhead, and days like this are a fantastic way of bringing us all together for a little healthy competition and to celebrate this year’s summer of sport, all while showcasing exactly what life is like here at Clara Court.

“The day not only promises a lot of laughter and enjoyment for all involved, but also is an excellent way for residents to meet and mingle with lots of new faces – and some familiar ones – while keeping active. We can’t wait until kick-off!”

Clara Court is a modern and welcoming care home designed to deliver the very best standards of care, and to enable residents to live active and fulfilled lives. The home offers a range of services including residential care and specialist dementia care.
