The home's main celebration events are due to take place during Care Home Open Weekend on Saturday 21st June 2025, 1.30pm – 4.30pm. Dale Park Care Home will be welcoming residents, colleagues, friends, family and the wider community to a family fun day with musical entertainment, games, refreshments and a kid’s corner. There will be nostalgic fairground games including Hook a Duck and ring toss tournaments, as well as musical bingo and a garden picnic.
Care Home Open Week is a national event hosted by Championing Social Care, designed to connect care homes with their local communities. The week will offer care homes the opportunity to showcase their range of services, provide tours of their facilities, and highlight the activities that are offered to residents.
The event also seeks to connect the homes with their neighbours, highlighting the communal support that the home can provide. HC-One’s chosen theme for this year’s Care Home Open Week is ‘The Big Summer Weekender’ emulating the nostalgic feel of British summer holidays with a variety of fun-filled activities culminating in an end-of-week celebration at the home.
Throughout the week, residents, colleagues, families, and friends are set to enjoy a variety of fun-filled activities culminating in an end-of-week celebration at the home. The home and members of the local community will be coming together to celebrate summertime memories past and present and hosted a fabulous Summer Weekender event.
Dale Park Care Home will be adorned in a variety of summer themed decorations, emulating the nostalgic feel of British summer holidays past and present providing a perfect setting for everyone to come together as a community, and to learn more about life at the care home.
