A CLAYTON-LE-MOORS care home will open its doors to the public on Friday, June 21, as part of The Big Care Home Conversation.

Hope House Nursing and Residential Home will be hosting a Victorian tea party, with people across Accrington invited.

The event is part of a national campaign by My Home Life, which aims to engage communities with care homes.

Tom Own, My Home Life director, said: “We want older people who live in care homes to be right at the heart of their community and also to encourage the public to better understand the pivotal role that care homes play.”
