Littlehampton care home open day celebrates new wing

Last week Norden House Care Home, in Littlehampton, hosted an open day to celebrate the launch of their third and final wing. The new wing increases overall occupancy of the Care Home to over 65 residents, so the team celebrated with a wonderful variety of activities.

The open day comprised a unique blend of entertainment, refreshments, artwork and local community stalls. The ‘Mini Market’ featured local organisations, hosting a range of wonderful pieces that guests could pick up, from crocheted dolls to perfumes and aftershaves. Each stall had also agreed that a part of their earnings for the day would go to a chosen charity, a lovely offer indeed. Alongside this, there was an art display, that had been created by residents of the home and displayed for guests to admire.

“It was so lovely to see so many guests and community members come along to the open day; we’re really pleased to be able to show just how great our Care Home is.” Ellaine Navarro, Care Home Manager.

Residents and guests were treated to a lively and informative talk from published historian, Janet Pennington. Janet delivered an insightful, explorative talk on the world of hats – featuring some of her own creations.

Following this, the chefs at Norden House put on a delicious spread for all to enjoy. Treating the guests to a range of cakes and sweet treats, along with savoury goods, pastries and even a retro pick and mix stall so everyone had something to take home with them.

To finish off the day, singer Kerry le Bern treated the audience to another spectacular performance. Kerry has quickly become a much-loved performer at the home, with residents always coming out to listen to her. She sang hits right through from the 40’s to the 60’s, everyone was singing and dancing along, ending a wonderful day at the home.

The Open Day was a great opportunity for those interested in Norden House to see exactly what makes it such a perfect Care Home.
