A dementia specialist care village in Crewe is inviting local people to an open day - showcasing a pioneering approach to living in care environments.

This approach aims to challenge the public perception of care homes.

On Tuesday June (28), Belong, Brookhouse Drive, will welcome visitors for an insight into the 'village living' model.

Attending visitors will be able to get an insight into the 'village living' model (Belong Crewe).

This is where customers can choose to live in independent apartments or as part of small 'household' cohorts with 24-hour support and nursing care available.

All this centres around a vibrant hub of onsite amenities designed to promote positive wellbeing and an active later life for older people, including those who are living with dementia. 

The 'Welcome Tuesday' all-day drop-in event provides the opportunity to tour the variety of facilities available to customers and those living locally.

This includes a Bistro, hair salon, therapy room, specialist gym and entertainment venue.

Guests will have the chance to meet-and-greet the management team and visit 'stations' dedicated to services available.

This includes an activities provision and day care, known as 'Experience Days', Belong at Home domiciliary care, as well as recruitment and training opportunities for those who are interested. 

The open day has been inspired as part of Care Home Open Week, a national event affording communities the chance to connect with their local care providers.

This year's observance is the first in-person event in three years, owing to the pandemic.

To add to the event's proceedings, guests can take advantage of a buy one, get one free offer for all coffee and cake purchases in the onsite Bistro.

Cheryl Davies, general manager at Belong Crewe said: "We're very excited for our open day.

This is the first in-person event at Belong Crewe in three years - before COVID (Belong Crewe).

"Our village centre is always open to the general public and we're pleased to be part of this special event that celebrates care environments for being a great place to live and work.

"There's no need for guests to book, they can come along and I'm sure they will be pleasantly surprised when they see everything we have to offer."

Visitors can come to the reception on the day and will be directed from there.
