Open day at Alexandra House care home
BEN, automotive industry charity owner of Alexandra House Care Centre in Southport is proud to be taking part in the 'National Care Home Open Day' on 19 June 2015, between 10am and 4pm. The idea behind the day is to encourage local people to visit care homes in their community and to work together to develop better relationships. This important connection is something that Alexandra House has nurtured since opening its doors in 1983, and has enjoyed a reputation for warmth and friendliness, combined with providing the highest standards of professional care. As part of the 'Care Home Open Day 2015', Alexandra House is hosting a visit from a volunteer artist who will be participating in art classes with the residents. Hand and neck massages with therapists will be offered to on and off duty staff who can also join in with the art lessons. There will be tea and cake available during the day with a community choir singing from 3pm to 4pm. Jan Habeck, BEN's Care Centre Manager, said:- "This is a great way to show the excellent services on offer and the fantastic work that goes on at Alexandra House. Some people still have misconceptions about care homes so we are keen to dispel any myths and for people to come and have a look around, meet the staff and our residents. We look forward to meeting you and saying 'hello' over a cup of tea."
