Celebrating Care, Community and Connection

We are delighted to announce that all of our care homes will be taking part in Care Home Open Week 2026, a nationwide celebration of the care sector that shines a spotlight on the incredible people, communities, and services that make care homes such special places to live and work.
Taking place across the UK, Care Home Open Week is an opportunity for care providers to open their doors, welcome visitors, and showcase the warmth, compassion, and vibrant lifestyles enjoyed by residents every day. This annual event aims to strengthen connections between care homes and their local communities while helping people gain a better understanding of modern residential care.
What is Care Home Open Week?
Care Home Open Week is a national initiative organised by Championing Social Care. The event encourages care homes across the country to invite members of the public inside to experience first-hand the positive impact that high-quality care can have on people's lives.
The week celebrates everything that makes care homes unique, from meaningful activities and person-centred care to community partnerships and lifelong friendships. It also provides an opportunity to challenge outdated perceptions and showcase the diverse and rewarding careers available within the social care sector.
Everyone is Welcome
Throughout Care Home Open Week, all of our homes will be hosting a variety of events, activities, and open days designed to bring people together.
Whether you are:
Looking for care for yourself or a loved one
Interested in learning more about life in a care home
Considering a career in social care
A healthcare professional or community partner
A local resident who would simply like to visit and meet our residents
We would love to welcome you.
Visitors will have the opportunity to meet our dedicated teams, chat with residents, explore our facilities, and experience the warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes each of our homes a valued part of its community.
Discover Life Inside Our Homes
One of the biggest misconceptions about care homes is that they are purely places of support and healthcare. While providing exceptional care remains at the heart of everything we do, our homes are also thriving communities where residents continue to enjoy hobbies, build friendships, celebrate milestones, and make meaningful memories.
During Care Home Open Week, guests will be able to see:
Engaging activities and wellbeing programmes
Comfortable and welcoming living environments
Dedicated care and support services
Opportunities for social interaction and community involvement
The passion and commitment of our care teams
Our goal is to give visitors an authentic insight into daily life within our homes and demonstrate how we support residents to live fulfilling and meaningful lives.
Strengthening Community Connections
At the heart of Care Home Open Week is a commitment to building stronger relationships between care homes and the communities they serve.
Our homes work closely with local schools, community groups, healthcare professionals, charities, volunteers, and families throughout the year. By opening our doors during this special week, we hope to create even more opportunities for connection, understanding, and collaboration.
We believe that care homes should be active, valued members of their local communities, and Care Home Open Week is a fantastic opportunity to celebrate those relationships.
Celebrating the Social Care Sector
The social care sector plays a vital role in supporting older people and vulnerable adults across the UK. Care Home Open Week is an opportunity to recognise the dedication, professionalism, and compassion of the people who work tirelessly to provide outstanding care every day.
We are incredibly proud of our teams and the difference they make in the lives of our residents and their families. This week provides the perfect platform to celebrate their achievements and highlight the positive impact of social care within our communities.
