Wendy Waddicor. managing director of the Hill Care Group, said: “National Care Home Open Day is a great opportunity for all our homes to welcome in members of their community.
“The theme of this year’s national event is Linking Communities and this is something we strive for year round.
“Community is so important to our homes and residents, who enjoy visits from nurseries and schools through to charity groups and labour clubs.
“If you’re a regular visitor or have never been to one of our homes before, we hope to see you during National Care Home Open Day.”
