The week is a national event hosted by Championing Social Care and is designed to connect care homes across the UK with their local communities.

This year, Lunan Court, which is owned by HC-One, has chosen the theme ‘Summer Celebration’ for its activities and events across the week.

Activities will be held at the 44-bed welcoming purpose-built home which offers nursing and nursing dementia care services throughout the week, culminating in a Summer Celebration on Friday, July 1.

Ursula Schneider, home manager, said: “We are really excited that we will be able to open our doors again to welcome our friends, family, and wider community to come together in a celebration of summer for Care Home Open Week.

“The pandemic has been a challenging time for all of us, but the week is a chance to reconnect with our community and to invite people to learn more about our home and the important part we play in supporting older people in the local area.”
