This week we utilised our display boards for a fun game for any residents passing in the hallway - and it's a real classic, Spot The Difference! ๐
Games like these help keep cognitive skills sharp AND help us keep the home feeling colourful and warm to be in. ๐

Sock pairing as an activity may not seem like the most fun, but for some residents, it helps them to maintain a strong sense of independence and purpose ๐งฆ
Residents here at The Beeches love it when they know that they are contributing to life here at the home.
It also helps keep cognitive and fine motor skills strong!

We had the most wonderful festive afternoon when the brilliant BUUK Collective Choir came to visit us! ๐ถ
It was fantastic to see so many smiling faces as residents enjoyed a fabulous performance filled with seasonal spirit.
There was plenty of clapping, lots of singing along, and even a little dancing as the room filled with warmth, music and Christmas cheer. The energy and happiness the choir brought were infectious and it was heartwarming to see everyone sharing such joyful moments together.
A huge thank you to the BUUK Choir for sharing their talent and bringing so much happiness to our home this December. ๐
We're already looking forward to your next visit!

Here at The Beeches Residential Home, we specialise in all aspects of dementia care.
While providing high-quality care is at the heart of what we do, itโs the personal and considerate delivery that makes us special.
Situated in the picturesque village of Ixworth, near Bury St Edmunds, our Grade ll listed home supports a small community of 44 residents. Our priority is in delivering care that maintains the dignity and individuality of each person, providing both physical and mental stimulation aimed specifically at those living with dementia.
Our facilities have been tastefully adapted to provide easy access for those with lower mobility, providing suitable wheelchair access along with a lift to all floors. All of our rooms have top of the range facilities to make sure residents are comfortable, including TV points, en-suite facilities and comfortable furnishings.
And not only are we home to a welcoming and supportive group of residents, but our community also houses a small collection of pets, allowing residents the chance to enjoy the health benefits that spending time with animals provide. From tropical fish and birds to pygmy goats, there are plenty of creatures for our residents to enjoy.
Visits from family and friends to the care home are also heartily encouraged. Visitors can spend time with residents in our beautiful gardens or in our comfortable lounge area.
