Residents and relatives at HCOne’s Defoe Court in Newton Aycliffe celebrated the fifth annual Care Home Open Day on 16th June. Care Home Open Day is a national event that gives local people the opportunity to learn more about the services at the heart of their community. This year’s theme was ‘HC-One Big Lunch’, as they partnered with the UK’s biggest annual neighbourly get together.
Residents, their loved ones and neighbours of the home celebrated with A local Singer, afternoon tea, some stalls and the fabulous Boothalicious. The family of HC-One homes across the UK took part in activities throughout the day, which comes shortly after HC-One celebrated its own 5th anniversary last month and relaunched as ‘HC-One The Kind Care Company’, bringing to focus their ethos of delivering the kindest care. Defoe Court, Sarah Todd said: “I would like to thank everyone who attended and supported our annual open day. We all had a wonderful day spending time with you chatting, we hope you enjoyed the afternoon tea, especially all the cakes. We hope you had fun in the photo booth and enjoyed the singer as much as we did.
