YOUNG musicians and dancers are preparing to entertain the residents of an Otley care home.
Twenty students from Prince Henry’s Grammar School’s jazz band will play at Anchor’s Teal Beck House on Friday, June 28.
A group of eight year olds from Bonds Dance School will also be performing as part of nationwide celebrations to mark Care Home Open Day.
Teal Beck House care home Manager Louise Bulcock said: “People don’t realise how we transform older people’s lives here so Care Home Open Day is the chance for people to find out what a care home is really like.
“For many people, the first time they come into contact with the care sector is when their relative can’t cope living in their home. Our doors are always open to people but we hope Care Home Open Day will be an opportunity for the local community to visit us so we can answer their questions.
“They can also join in the fun activities on the day which we regularly organise for our residents to improve their mental and physical well-being. We’re looking forward to having so many young visitors join us because the residents love interacting with the younger generation.”
