Good morning 🌞 from Stowford House!

We’re starting the week with the sweet smell of freshly baked brownies filling the halls 🍫👩‍🍳 Baking together isn’t just fun — it’s therapeutic. For our residents, especially those living with dementia, the familiar scents and simple steps can spark memories, lift moods, and bring a wonderful sense of togetherness 💛
As Mary, our eldest resident exclaimed - “ It smells wonderful!”

Here’s to a warm, chocolatey start to the week! ✨

To end , our first-floor residents shared and wrote their own poems — sparking creativity, connection, and emotion. 📝💬 It was truly moving to see everyone’s unique voice shine through. A beautiful reminder of the power of words. 💖

Our sensory session today was filled with classic favourites like Slinkys and LEGO, sparking happy memories and encouraging creativity. 🌈

We also enjoyed the fresh scents of mint and rosemary from our garden, which help to awaken the senses and bring feelings of calm and wellbeing. 🌿

Sensory activities like these are wonderful for our residents — they support memory, improve focus, and promote relaxation, while also providing lots of fun and laughter together. 💛

At Stowford House, every day is about connection, joy, and meaningful moments. 🌟

A lovely afternoon at Millets Farm 🌸🫖

We wandered through the garden centre and the shop; Ann picked up some beautiful cyclamen for her room, and Brian enjoyed quality time with his mum, reminiscing about when Mary used to visit Millets 💕

We finished the day with tea and cake — Joy loved her chocolate slice! ☕
Simple moments, sweet memories.
