Activities like these are not only great fun but also a wonderful way to keep everyone active, connected, and entertained. 💛

🧩 Moments that matter at The Willows Care Home 🧩

There’s something special about the quiet focus of a puzzle. Today, one of our residents enjoyed spending time working through a colourful jigsaw, keeping the mind active and the hands busy.

Puzzles are a wonderful way to support concentration, fine motor skills, and relaxation — and they’re also a great source of achievement and enjoyment. 💚

At Willows, we love seeing these everyday moments that bring comfort, purpose, and a sense of accomplishment to our residents.

We’re so happy to share this lovely moment with our Mr N here at The Willows Care Home 💙

Mr N is a big Red Arrows ✈️ fan and absolutely loves the new display on his wall. It makes him smile every time he comes into his room and is so nice for him to see something he really enjoys.

Moments like these remind us how important it is to personalise our residents’ spaces and celebrate the things that make them happy 😊

The day began with relaxing hand and head massages. Hand cream was used alongside my massage skills (supported by my Nail Technology diploma, which included hand and foot massage training), a wooden roller, and a head massager.

We then took part in several activities:
Ball Throwing Game – Throwing balls into a bin.
Mrs C achieved an impressive score of 8 out of 10.
Mr B followed closely with 7 out of 10.

Hoopla Game – Throwing hoops over a cone.
Mrs H won the game with 5 out of 8 hoops successfully landed.

I also played some football with Mr N, who showed good agility and maintained a strong, accurate kick.

To finish, we enjoyed listening to favourite music, including “My Old Man’s a Dustbin Man”, “Delilah”, and “Dancing Queen”. This led to a lively sing-along and some dancing, creating a very positive and enjoyable atmosphere.

❄️ A Winter’s Walk to Remember ❄️

Today we wrapped up warm and stepped outside to enjoy the magic of the snow with Ms H. The crisp winter air and fresh snowfall made for a truly special walk.

Ms H took in the beautiful surroundings, smiling as the snow crunched beneath her feet.

She thoroughly enjoyed the experience and returned indoors with rosy cheeks, a big smile, and plenty of happy memories. Moments like these remind us how even simple activities can bring so much joy 💙

Wishing everyone a happy and healthy 2026.

Today marked my first day back in the new year for myself. We began the morning with Mrs C enjoying a manicure, choosing a subtle pink shade.
Mrs H and I then set up the January board. Although it looks a little bare at the moment, we will continue to add to it throughout the month.
I then visited residents in their rooms to wish them all a Happy New Year. Once everyone was back in the lounge, we came together to sing Auld Lang Syne, which was enjoyed by all. 🎶
We continued our Friday tradition with a game of bingo. Today’s winners were Mr B, Mr Y, and Mrs H, who each received a selection of chocolates and hand cream as prizes.

👶🎭 Doll Therapy, Wigs & Wonderful Moments at The Willows 🎈💙

We enjoyed a fantastic day filled with laughter, meaningful activities, and warm moments at The Willows Care Home.

💅 Mrs H enjoyed having her nails painted and was very pleased with the results.

🎭 Mr Y and Mr B created lots of laughter trying on my wig – Mr Y even chose to sit in it all morning, just as he requested.

🎈⚽ Chair balloon tennis and chair football were great fun. Mrs F impressed us by standing to take some fabulous kicks, while Mr Y showed great coordination by catching the ball between his feet. Mrs C, who loves any activity involving a good whack or hit, thoroughly enjoyed joining in.

🖖 Mrs B was delighted to receive two of her Star Trek magazines, which were eagerly welcomed.

🤲 Mrs F also enjoyed a relaxing hand massage using the wooden roller.

👶 Mrs S and I spent some calm, nurturing time dressing the baby boy doll, using doll therapy to provide comfort, purpose, and engagement.

Another heart-warming day of care, connection, and joy at The Willows 💕

🌟 A Lovely Day at Willows Care Home 🌟

Today was filled with fun, connection, and comforting moments 💚

Our ball target games brought plenty of smiles – with Mrs H winning by miles!
Hoopla was enjoyed by everyone, with lots of laughter along the way.

Mr Y spent time building an impressive marble run with Isla – great teamwork and creativity on display.

Mr N joined me for room visits, playing the tabletop ball game and enjoying chats about everything from different sayings used around the country to animals and family stories – a really lovely time connecting.

💞 Mrs S and Mrs F shared some gentle, comforting moments together, bringing calm and reassurance.

🧸 Mrs T enjoyed a cuddle with her doll and a relaxing head massage, which soon sent her off into a peaceful sleep.
Days like these remind us how important the little moments are ✨

Music Monday with a Twist 🎶

Today’s Music Monday had a seated-chair exercise twist, complete with musical instruments, pom-poms, and bubbles. 🫧

We marched, bent, and stretched — working off some of that extra Christmas indulgence!
We finished with a lovely sing-along to some favourites, including Que Sera Sera, Daisy Daisy, and Delilah.

A big thank you to Mrs F, who kindly helped me hand-wash the Christmas hats and headbands, all ready for next year’s festivities. 🎄
