To begin the week our residents enjoyed a music and light sensory session in which silicone tiles of different textures were placed on the table and we reminisced with some 1950s replicas.
On Tuesday we had a family member come into to entertain our residents, playing the keyboard for almost two hours as well as a local church coming in to give our residents holy communion and sing some hymns. This was a joyful day of everybody looking so happy and content in their chairs listening and tapping along to the music with their feet.
We opened the café to our resident’s families on Wednesday with everyone coming in and enjoying baked cakes and tea and coffee with some music and a sing-a-long. In the afternoon we zumba’ed our bodies with Sharon for an hour and a half getting up and dancing and exercising.
Thursday saw local nursery children come to visit. Our residents love it when these adorable youngsters come in to exchange stories, as well as teach them new dance moves weekly!
We all made our very own Chinese New year Dragon on Friday which has been displayed in the reception area. In the afternoon we relaxed with a game of bingo which saw a full turnout for our residents.
