COME AND CELEBRATE COMMUNITY AT ABERDARE CARE HOME
HC-One’s Meadowlands in Aberdare, Rhondda Cynon Taf, is looking forward to welcoming neighbours and local residents into the home to celebrate the sixth annual Care Home Open Day on 21st April.
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 is ‘Linking Our Community’, and HC-One has decided to launch a ‘Big Sing’, inviting local choirs from across the UK into homes to come together and sing with Residents, their loved ones, colleagues and neighbours.
All are welcome to take part in this free open day, where you can enjoy some live entertainment, a cake sale and a delicious hog roast along with refreshments. Please come along:
Date: 21st April 2018
Time: 11am-4pm
