HC-One’s Sedgley Court Care Home, in Dudley, West Midlands, is preparing to welcome in visitors and guests from their local community to participate in this year’s Care Home Open Week celebrations from Monday, June 16 until Sunday, June 22, 2025.
Sedgley Court Care Home will be welcoming residents, colleagues, friends, family and the wider community to enjoy a week of music, laughter, and connection. 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.
A Beach Party will take place on Friday, June 20, as the care home will be transformed into a seaside paradise. Guests can enjoy an ice cream van serving refreshing treats, lively party music, and vibrant beach-themed decorations.
A professional entertainer will keep the energy high by ensuring a fun-filled day for all attendees. Adding to the excitement, Sedgley Court will also welcome Blind Dave Heeley OBE as a special guest on Friday, June 20.
The week culminates in a highlight event on Saturday, June 21 at 2pm with the Summer Fayre in the care home’s garden. There will be a variety of attractions including a tombola, bottle stall, independent stalls, a cake stall, and more, ensuring fun for all ages.
