RESIDENTS at The Hall care home, in Thornton-le-Dale, have enjoyed a musical health session.

The event was part of the home’s regular activities, which also include sessions with instruments and pom poms.

Next week, a specialist adult day care centre is also being opened at The Hall.

Manager Diane Hagan said that after listening to the local community and health care professionals, the home had identified the need for day care facilities which specialise in care for people with dementia.

“We are very excited to launch our new day centre to support people over 65 in the Ryedale area,” she said.

“It is really important to us that we can reach out and touch people living with dementia and support their carers and family.”

An open day is being held on Saturday, February 15, from 10am and 4pm, where there will be information about the day centre. For details phone 01751 474789.
