Limegrove care home takes part in national celebration

Residents from a care home in East Horsley and guests will be displaying their artwork in a special gallery as part of a nationwide celebration.

Anchor’s Limegrove care home in St Martin's Close will be participating in Care Home Open Day (CHOD) on Friday 28 June, along with thousands of care homes across the country.

This year’s theme is the arts and staff at Limegrove have invited the local community to join an arts and crafts session at the home with all the pieces of work being displayed in a gallery at the end of the day for the public to view.

Home Manager Sudhir Sijapati said: “People don’t realise how we transform older people’s lives for the better here so Care Home Open Day is the chance for people to find out what a care home is really like.

“For many people, the first time they come into contact with the care sector is when their relative can’t cope living in their home. Our doors are always open to people but we hope CHOD will be the opportunity the local community to visit us so we can answer their questions.

“They can also join in the fun activities on the day which we regularly organise for our residents to improve their mental and physical well-being. We’re looking forward to seeing the artwork created by the residents and our visitors.”
