Meadowside care home chose to mark HM the Queen’s 90th birthday with a street party, featuring live entertainment and a traditional buffet as part of The Fremantle Trust’s series of events.

National Care Home Open Day is a UK-wide initiative inviting care homes to open their doors to the local public, showcase their services and place them at the centre of their local communities.

Commenting on the event, Gloria Haynes, head of services for older people at The Fremantle Trust, said:

“We’re really passionate about creating lasting links between our services and the communities they serve. Care Home Open Day was a great opportunity to celebrate with our honorary guests and demonstrate the importance of bridging generational gaps.”
