Enter and View at Tendercare Oldbury March 2026

News - 7 April 2026

Staff at Tendercare go all out for their residents in a show of fun and support by dressing in inflatable animal costumes, putting on sing along music and encouraging the residents to dance and join in.

Our Authorised Representatives said "it was truly heart warming to see the residents enjoying themselves, singing and dancing. Those who chose to remain seated were happily clapping along and joining in with the singing. The activity was very interactive and inclusive, ensuring everyone was involved in some way."

At first glance this case study and description of events sound relatively straight forward that
is, a person with a progressive degenerative neurological disease > receives support at home >
receives care in hospital > moves to a respite at care home > moves to a more suitable care
