๐Ÿง โœจWednesday Afternoon Fun: Quiz Time in the Main Dining Room โœจ๐Ÿง 

Although we were originally due to have external entertainment in the afternoon, the snowy weather meant travel just wasnโ€™t possible but that certainly didnโ€™t stop the fun at Rubislaw Park Care Home !โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’™

Instead, we did what we do best and made our own entertainment, turning the afternoon into a lively and laughter-filled quiz session in the main dining room.๐Ÿ’™โ„๏ธ

Residents gathered together in a warm, welcoming space as our team hosted a fun and engaging quiz, carefully adapted so everyone could join in at their own level. Questions sparked conversation, friendly debate, shared memories, and plenty of laughs, with residents supporting one another and celebrating every answer, right or wrong! โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’™

Quizzes are a wonderful way to encourage cognitive stimulation, memory recall, and social interaction, while also creating a relaxed and inclusive atmosphere. For those who preferred to listen rather than actively answer, simply being part of the group, enjoying the chatter and humour, was just as meaningful.๐Ÿ’™โ„๏ธ

The room was filled with smiles, encouragement, and that unmistakable feeling of togetherness. Snow outside or not, the warmth inside Rubislaw Park was undeniable, proving once again that when plans change, joy doesnโ€™t have to.โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’™

A perfect example of flexibility, creativity, and community spirit, and a lovely afternoon spent connecting, laughing, and enjoying one anotherโ€™s company โœจ

๐Ÿ’…โœจ Pamper Sessions: Hair & Nails Throughout the Day at Rubislaw Park Care Home โœจ๐Ÿ’‡โ€โ™€๏ธ

Alongside our rescheduled activities, residents were also able to enjoy relaxing pamper sessions for hair and nails throughout the day, giving everyone the opportunity to take time for themselves and feel truly looked after โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’™

These sessions are about so much more than appearance. Gentle hair styling, hand care, and nail treatments provide moments of calm, reassurance, and one-to-one attention, something many residents find deeply comforting. For some, itโ€™s a familiar routine that brings a sense of normality and dignity; for others, itโ€™s a chance to relax, chat, and enjoy being pampered at their own pace ๐Ÿ’™โ„๏ธ

Residents chose how they wished to take part, whether that was having their hair styled, nails tidied and painted, or simply enjoying the hand massage and conversation that naturally comes with these moments. Staff worked carefully and attentively, respecting individual preferences, comfort levels, and sensory needs throughout.โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’™

The atmosphere during pamper sessions is always warm and gentle, filled with smiles, shared stories, and quiet moments of connection. Itโ€™s wonderful to see how a little self-care can lift spirits, boost confidence, and help residents feel their very best inside and out.๐Ÿ’™โ„๏ธ

A beautiful reminder that meaningful care is found in the small, thoughtful moments that make each person feel seen, valued, and cared for.โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’™

๐Ÿ“ฑโ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’™ Wednesday Morning: Screen Memories in Ash Lounge ๐Ÿ’™โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ“ฑ

With winter firmly settling in and the snowy conditions making travel difficult for many, Wednesday morning brought a change of pace to our planned activities, but as always at Rubislaw Park Care Home , this simply opened the door for creativity, flexibility, and truly person-centred care โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’™

Rather than cancelling, our wonderful activities team adapted the morning to meet residents exactly where they were. The Ash Lounge became a warm, welcoming space filled with comfort, gentle conversation, and shared moments as we enjoyed a Screen Memories session using our new, disability-friendly large-screen tablet. ๐Ÿ’™โ„๏ธ

The tablet was brought directly into the lounge so residents could take part without needing to move far from their favourite chairs or familiar surroundings. With its large, clear display, touch-screen features, and adjustable positioning, residents were able to explore content in a way that felt natural and accessible to them. Some enjoyed watching familiar videos and images, others listened to favourite songs, while a few delighted in simply touching the screen and watching it respond with colour and movement.โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’™

As the session unfolded, the room gently filled with stories, smiles, and moments of recognition. Residents shared memories sparked by what they saw on the screen, places they had been, music they loved, moments from earlier chapters of their lives. Others preferred quiet observation, content to sit alongside friends, enjoying the atmosphere without pressure to speak or participate. Every form of engagement was welcomed and valued.๐Ÿ’™โ„๏ธ

Activities like Screen Memories play an important role in supporting cognitive stimulation, emotional wellbeing, and social connection. They can help awaken long-term memories, encourage conversation, and provide comfort through familiarity, particularly during colder months when going outdoors isnโ€™t always possible. Just as importantly, they allow residents to engage at their own pace, supporting dignity, choice, and independence.โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’™

Despite the snow falling outside, Wednesday morning in the Ash Lounge felt anything but cold. It was calm, cosy, and full of warmth, a beautiful reminder that meaningful moments donโ€™t depend on perfect plans, but on care, connection, and being present together.๐Ÿ’™โ„๏ธ

Tuesday afternoonโ€™s choir practice featured the much-loved Scottish classic โ€œI Love a Lassieโ€, and it brought so many smiles to the room โค๏ธ

As soon as the song began, residents joined in, singing proudly, tapping along, and clearly enjoying every familiar word and melody.

Tuesday afternoon at Rubislaw Park Care Home brought music, tradition, and togetherness as residents gathered for choir practice, followed by a special afternoon tea celebrating Scottish classics โค๏ธ

Choir practice is always a highlight of the week, offering residents the chance to come together through song, rhythm, and shared enjoyment. Familiar melodies filled the room as voices joined in, some strong and confident, others gentle and quiet, but all equally valued. Music has a powerful way of unlocking memories, encouraging expression, and creating a deep sense of belonging, and it was lovely to see residents smiling, tapping along, and supporting one another throughout ๐ŸŽต

Staff provided encouragement and gentle guidance, adapting the session to suit individual abilities and energy levels, ensuring everyone felt included, whether singing every word, humming along, or simply enjoying listening. These sessions support emotional wellbeing, breath control, communication, and social connection, all while being joyful and uplifting ๐Ÿค

After choir, residents were treated to a cosy afternoon tea with a Scottish twist. Fresh bakes and traditional treats were enjoyed alongside warm cups of tea, with conversation flowing as residents chatted about favourite songs, memories of ceilidhs, concerts, and afternoons spent singing with family and friends ๐Ÿฐโ˜•

The combination of music and shared food created a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere, a perfect example of how meaningful activities support not just enjoyment, but routine, comfort, and community.

๐Ÿ’…โœจ Tuesday Morning: Pamper Time & Gentle Self-Care โœจ๐Ÿ’‡โ€โ™€๏ธ

Tuesday morning at Rubislaw Park Care Home began beautifully with pamper sessions, offering residents the chance to enjoy nail care, hair brushing, and gentle styling in a calm, relaxed setting โค๏ธ

These sessions are about so much more than appearance, theyโ€™re moments of connection, dignity, and comfort. Residents were supported at their own pace, with plenty of choice and reassurance, allowing each person to decide how they wanted to take part. Soft conversation, laughter, and quiet companionship filled the room as hands were moisturised, nails shaped and painted, and hair gently brushed or styled โœจ

Pamper sessions play an important role in wellbeing, supporting self-esteem, identity, sensory comfort, and relaxation. For many residents, these moments mirror familiar routines from earlier life, helping to evoke positive memories while providing soothing touch and one-to-one interaction ๐Ÿค

Staff remained attentive throughout, ensuring comfort, consent, and individual needs were respected, whether that meant taking breaks, adapting techniques, or simply sitting and chatting while enjoying the moment together.

It was a wonderfully gentle way to begin the day, setting a calm and uplifting tone for the hours ahead, filled with care, choice, and the simple joy of feeling looked after ๐Ÿ’›

๐Ÿฅโœจ Exploring Rhythm in Cults & Cove โœจ๐Ÿฅ

During our movement to music session in Cults and Cove, one resident took a special interest in the bongo drums, and enjoyed tapping along to the beat. โค๏ธ

With encouragement from staff, the resident explored different rhythms and sounds, tapping, pausing, and experimenting in their own time. This kind of musical exploration is so valuable, percussion instruments like bongos support sensory stimulation, hand/ eye coordination, fine motor skills, and emotional expression, while also building confidence and curiosity ๐ŸŽถ๐Ÿ’™

There was no right or wrong way to play, just freedom to explore, create, and enjoy the moment. Other residents watched with smiles, some tapping along or swaying gently to the rhythm, creating a shared experience of connection and joy ๐Ÿค

Music has a wonderful way of reaching people in ways words sometimes canโ€™t, and moments like this highlight the importance of person-centred activities that follow individual interests and abilities. It was a simple but powerful reminder that creativity lives in everyone, at every stage of life โœจ

A lovely, calming moment from a cosy winter afternoon in Cults and Cove, filled with music, curiosity, and warm support โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’™

โ„๏ธ๐ŸŽถ Cults & Cove: Music, Movement and Winter Magic ๐ŸŽถโ„๏ธ

Over in Cults and Cove, Monday continued with the same gentle, person-centred approach, perfectly suited to the snowy scenes outside and the cosy atmosphere indoors.๐Ÿ’™

Residents enjoyed movement to music, a much-loved activity that brings together gentle exercise, familiar tunes, and plenty of smiles. Everyone was encouraged to join in at their own comfort level, whether that meant seated movements, clapping along, singing, or simply enjoying the rhythm and company around them ๐ŸŽถ Staff supported each resident individually, ensuring movements were safe, adapted, and inclusive for all abilities.โ„๏ธ

Movement to music plays an important role in supporting physical health, balance, coordination, and circulation, while also lifting mood and encouraging social connection. Just as importantly, it creates moments of shared joy and laughter, strengthening relationships between residents and staff.๐Ÿ’™

Between songs, residents couldnโ€™t help but pause to admire their snowman in the courtyard, proudly built the day before. Watching the snow continue to fall outside became a moment of calm and reflection, a chance to reminisce about winters past, share stories, and simply enjoy the beauty of the season โ„๏ธโ˜ƒ๏ธ

The large windows filled the space with soft winter light, turning the afternoon into a peaceful blend of music, movement, conversation, and quiet appreciation of nature. These slower moments are just as meaningful, offering comfort, familiarity, and a deep sense of contentment.๐Ÿ’™

A truly lovely afternoon at Rubislaw Park Care Home where gentle activity, winter views, and togetherness created a warm and nurturing end to the day โ„๏ธ

โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’™ Monday Moments: Gentle Starts & Music-Filled Afternoons ๐Ÿ’™โ„๏ธ

Mondays at Rubislaw Park Care Home always begin with a focus on connection, reassurance, and individual wellbeing, and with the snowy weather continuing outside, it felt like the perfect day to slow the pace and centre our residentsโ€™ needs.โ„๏ธ

The morning was dedicated to one-to-one sessions, open to everyone but especially important for residents who are less socially inclined or who prefer quieter, more personal interactions. These 1:1 moments give residents space to talk, reminisce, enjoy a calm activity, or simply sit and feel listened to all at their own pace. They play a vital role in supporting emotional wellbeing, confidence, and inclusion, ensuring no one feels overlooked during busier group activities ๐Ÿ’™

Alongside this, our activities team handed out the weekly planners and menus, giving residents the opportunity to see whatโ€™s coming up, make informed choices, and feel involved in their week ahead. Having structure and choice supports independence, reduces anxiety, and helps residents feel in control of their daily lives, something we know is incredibly important.โ„๏ธ

In the afternoon, the focus shifted to movement to music in our main dining hall, bringing energy, smiles, and gentle exercise into the day.๐Ÿ’™ With snow falling outside, the hall was filled with warmth, familiar tunes, and happy faces as residents joined in however felt comfortable from seated movements and clapping along, to gentle dancing and singing. ๐ŸŽถ

Movement to music supports mobility, circulation, coordination, and mood, while also creating a shared sense of fun and togetherness. Staff were on hand throughout, offering encouragement, adaptations, and reassurance, ensuring everyone could participate safely and confidently in their own way.๐Ÿ’™

A beautifully balanced Monday full of calm, caring mornings followed by joyful, music-filled afternoons, proving that even when winter keeps us indoors, our days can still be full of warmth, connection, and meaningful moments โ„๏ธ

Sunday afternoon at Rubislaw Park Care Home was all about comfort, laughter, and coziness as residents gathered in our cinema room for the much-loved movie, Mamma Mia! โค๏ธ

With the snow still blanketing the world outside, our cinema room became the perfect winter escape. Residents settled in comfortably, wrapped in warmth, as familiar songs, beautiful scenery, and joyful moments filled the screen. Almost instantly, the room came alive with smiles, laughter, gentle singing along, and the unmistakable feel-good energy that only ABBA can bring ๐ŸŽถโœจ

Movie afternoons like this are about so much more than watching a film. They support social connection, reminiscence, and emotional wellbeing, giving residents shared experiences to enjoy together.
