Longview Care Home, part of the Runwood Homes group, held a delightful Open Day on Saturday 2nd November, inviting friends, family, and members of the local community to celebrate recent refurbishments and enjoy a day filled with entertainment and refreshments. The event provided a wonderful opportunity for the public to explore the newly renovated areas of Longview, including the upstairs lounge diner, reception, and entrance, and to spend quality time with the residents.
Guests were treated to Prosecco, nibbles, and cupcakes, while live entertainment was provided by the talented Julie Jive. The residents were in high spirits, dancing and singing along to the lively tunes. The event saw the participation of a wide range of individuals and groups, including the lifestyle staff, management, district nurses, doctors’ surgery, first responders, head office, and the local Mayor.
