Dorset care homes invite visitors to a week of activities
Care South homes across Dorset are opening their doors to the public with a variety of activities during Care Home Week.
During Care Home Week, which runs until Sunday 22 June, home care provider and registered charity, Care South, is inviting the community to a range of events.
The national initiative, organised by Championing Social Care, aims to connect care homes with their local communities.
Activities across Dorset will include an interactive, dementia-friendly outdoor performance, Royal Ascot-themed afternoon tea, and live music and entertainment which are all open to the public. Visitors will have the chance to take an informal tour of the homes, chat to the staff, and learn about the care services available. The events are also open to anyone who may be interested in working in one of Care South’s homes and who can find out more about the roles available.
Simon Bird, CEO of Care South, said: “Care Home Open Week is a fantastic opportunity for us to open our homes to the local communities so that they can see how our residents’ lives are full of food, fun and friendship. Our dedicated teams provide high quality care to our residents, who are encouraged and enabled to feel happy, fulfilled and respected in our homes. Every resident has access to a daily programme of activities on offer for them to continue enjoying their favourite hobbies and interests, so we look forward to welcoming in the community to take part in these activities with them.”
