Braid Hills welcomes community for care home open day

Staff and residents at Braid Hills Bupa Care Home on Liberton Drive, Edinburgh are getting ready to celebrate this year's care home open day – a national calendar day when care homes in Great Britain are encouraged to open their doors and invite their local community and the wider public to see what enjoyable and stimulating places they can be to both live and work in.

It encourages homes to celebrate a different theme each year, with key values at its heart: friendship, making connections and celebrating older and vulnerable people.

This year’s theme is celebrating the role of arts in care and the Edinburgh home is inviting people to join them on Friday 28th June between 2 pm - 3.30 pm. At Braid Hills this year, guests can enjoy fun activities for everyone, including entertainment from Gillion, singing a selection of popular songs from the 1960s. Food and refreshments will be served throughout.

Stephen Hagan, general manager at Braid Hills, said: “We’d love members of our community to come along 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 home 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 here at the home.”
