Staff and residents at St Catherine’s Nursing Home in Newcastle and Holy Cross Nursing Home in Sunderland are extending a warm welcome to visitors this Friday, 16 June, as they invite everyone to join them for their National Care Home Open Day events.
The annual taster day aims to let visitors see for themselves how enjoyable life is in our nursing homes and to cultivate closer links between local people and the homes that sit in the heart of their communities.
Visitors will have the opportunity to take a tour of our homes, grounds and gardens with our staff and home managers who will be happy to answer any questions about living in our residential care homes.
They will also be able to see some of our residents showcase their talents as they take part in their ‘activity of the day’, then join them for some relaxing refreshments and entertainment in the afternoon.
“We’d like to invite people to pop in for a while, or enjoy a longer visit, if they wish,” said our Family Liaison Manager, Joanne Bulford, who plays a key role in helping new residents settle into their new home. “It’s an ideal opportunity to see our homes first hand.”
Our National Care Open Day events run from 10am until 4pm and further information on the event or the quality care on offer at our homes is available from: Anne Tonge, Manager of St Catherine’s Nursing Home, Newcastle on 0191 2452400 or Julie Thompson, Manager of Holy Cross Nursing home in Sunderland on 0191 5670862
