Dorset House has celebrated Care Home Open Week by opening its doors to visitors.

The care home, which operates under Rotherwood Healthcare, marked the special week with a Care Home Open Day on Friday, June 28.

The care home, in Droitwich Spa, invited the community to have a look at its care services, setting and surroundings.

Attendees spent the day enjoying free refreshments and live entertainment.

They also got to tour the home.

The crowd also had afternoon tea in the sunshine, which was accompanied by a live performance by singer, Ian James.

The care home's chef also made special homemade cakes for the event.

Care Home Open Week is a nationwide initiative spearheaded by Championing Social Care, aimed at clearing up misconceptions about care homes and highlighting the care they offer.
