We were delighted to hold our Care Services Open Day again this year at Alexandra House and Alexandra Court, our Residential Care Home and Extra Care schemes in Olton, Solihull. We are very proud of our schemes and on Saturday 20th August 2016 we opened our doors to the public and welcomed visitors to spend the afternoon with us to see what we are all about. Entertainment was provided courtesy of ‘Vintage Class’ (a 1940′s style singing group) and by a musical motivation specialist who regularly visits our schemes. Our Catering Manager, Patricia Hines, put on a delicious afternoon tea which was very much enjoyed by all of our visitors. The new Mayor of Solihull, Councillor Mr Mike Robinson and the Mayoress of Solihull Mrs Jenny Robinson attended our open day this year and photos from the event can be seen below...

You may be interested to know that our Almshouse charity was originally founded in 1868 by Josiah Mason a Victorian philanthropist, born in 1795 in Kidderminster. He built the Josiah Mason’s Orphanage and Almshouse but when the need for the orphanage declined in the 1960’s the land was sold and further accommodation for the elderly was built. Today the Almshouse charity provides over 160 homes for elderly people, principally in sheltered housing in Olton, Shirley and in Erdington.
