This year we are organising the second Care Home Day. This day is a largely online event to raise awareness and promote care homes. We hope to share good news stories to bust myths about care homes and recognise the role they play in communities. Care home providers are encouraged to mark the day by doing a virtual activity which families and local communities can participate in
The theme is ‘Care Community‘, to highlight how care homes are essential parts of the health and social care community as well as local communities in Scotland. Care homes are places which provide high quality, person-centred care to support the health and wellbeing of residents and where staff demonstrate commitment and compassion every day.
At 2pm, we will be holding our first ‘Care Conversation’ where Dr Tara French – Technology and Digital Innovation Lead, Scottish Care, will be joined by Jenni Mack – Marketing Execute, Holmes Care Group. Together they will discuss the topic of social media in care homes, how social media can foster community, sharing positive stories and overcoming fears. If you are interested in taking part, please register here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_duD-F4LWS8C4dN34SpZO5Q
Between 3-4pm, we will be hosting a Twitter Discussion with a few questions centred on ‘Care Community’. Please join us and share your thoughts.
You can get involved by sharing content on social media using the hashtag #carehomeday20.
