Fashion Through the Ages Week
This week was packed full of themed cocktail parties, cooking classes, and arts and crafts. There was lots of reminiscing about different eras, and the fashion trends that defined them. There was a fantastic trip out to the Priness Royal pub, and our entertainer this week was very popular!
Outing to Princess Royal
This week some of our residents went to the pub. Though they have a lovely beer garden, the residents chose to sit inside this time.
Perfect company, perfect outing!
Flower Arranging
One of our favourite regular activities, giving everyone the opportunity to come together and create beautiful displays for around the home!
Baking
Baking is another favourite regular group activity, bringing everyone together to reminisce about recipes, ingredients and baking experiences. The smells and familiar aromas help to create wonderful memories and encourage conversation!
Physiotherapy
Every week our residents have the oportunity to participate in a group physio therapy session. The physiotherapist uses different equipment to engage the residents minds as well as their bodies.
Balloon Bounce and Omi Interactive
Balloon bounce is a fun and engaging activity that encourages physical movement, coordination and interaction. Our Omi Interactive activities are also a favourite supporting physical activity while promoting cognitive skills through a variety of fun and stimulating games.
Colouring, bingo, puzzles and visits to the hairdressers. We have enjoyed great entertainment from Steve Robbins, a pianist who brought great joy and smiles. With the warmer weather continuing we have been spending more time in the garden, making the most of the sunshine and enjoying the outdoor space.
Tinkerbell
Tinkerbell, our therapy dog, brings lots of smiles, great joy and comfort to everyone. Her visits are always welcomed and provide a lovely opportunity for companionship, affection and positive interation!
