STAFF and residents at Bupa care homes, Cottingley Hall and Crossley House in Bradford are getting ready to celebrate this year’s Care Home Open Day.

Care homes in Great Britain are encouraged to open their doors and invite their community and the wider public to see what enjoyable places they can be to both live and work in.

This year’s theme is celebrating the role of arts in care and both homes are inviting people to join in on lots of fun activities including arts, crafts and live entertainment.

Food and refreshments will also be available throughout the day.

Join Bupa at Cottingley Hall between 2pm - 4pm on Friday 28th June or visit Crossley House between 2pm to 6pm on the same day.

Alan Twigg, Bupa Regional Manager, said: “We’d love members of the community to come along to either of the homes and help us to celebrate Care Home Open Day – it’s a fantastic opportunity to bring people together, help build new friendships and celebrate older people in the community.

“We are looking forward to providing a taster of the extensive range of activities and events we have available at the homes to increase the well-being of residents.

“We’ll also be on hand to offer an insight to anyone considering a move or a career alongside our passionate staff at the homes.”
