Ashton View nursing and dementia care home, in Ashton-in-Makerfield, Colleagues have been planning how they will be hosting an open day for everyone to visit during the national event of Care Home Open Week.
An extensive itinerary of events has been put together that will be happening throughout the day for everyone to enjoy. This includes tombola’s, raffles, a baking competition, live entertainment and a summer buffet for Residents and their families to enjoy.
