Last week we started to see the sunshine loom its head; bringing with it plenty of joy and fun.

We had a visit from our friend Hiroko, who came to provide a relaxing sound moves session. From individual massages, to making music using instruments from around the world, there was something for everyone. Hiroko always brings us together and allows us to feel reassured and supported by her therapeutic touch. One resident expressed ‘she really enjoyed the session and felt comfortable in her presence ’

From entertainers to the great outdoors, we have also been getting our residents outside for some vitamin D. Joan enjoyed a visit from local cat Jasper who often makes an appearance in our garden; making everybody smile. We even pulled out the paddling pools for everyone to have a cool dip in these hotter temperatures.

Socialising, sunshine, and relaxation was our main focus point last week to boost mood, combat loneliness and reduce stress ❤️🌞☺️

Both Nansi and Janet shared the same birthday last week.
We celebrated Janet hitting a milestone; turning the big 90 🥳 what an incredible achievement, and in honour of their Welsh heritage we sang happy birthday to them in the national language🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
Both ladies were showered with flowers, cake and plenty of sunshine 🌞 they bring so much light to the home that the pleasant weather was a reflection of the joy they provide.
We hope they enjoyed their special day and we wish them many happy returns ❤️🎂

As another week comes to an end here at Danesbrook, let’s take a look at some of our highlights.

To start the week, we had a visit from our local church, who came to do holy communion for all those who wanted to be involved. The church is very important to a large number of our residents and a lot of them miss being able to go consistently. Therefore, when we bring the service to them it makes them feel a sense of peace and continued connection to their faith and community. A lot of our residents express that they feel comfort, valued and peaceful when attending.

As we reached hump day, we had explored a game of bingo and Giant Dominoes. Bringing everyone together to socialise and have a bit of fun. With both Dominoes and Bingo, searching for the right numbers improve math skills and strengthens strategic thinking. Shirley was ever so pleased to win the Bingo and chose a tin of biscuits as her prize.

To end the week, we had a visit from Rise Fitness, practicing our netball skills. We all had a laugh whilst improving our cardiovascular health and joint flexibility. This visit improved the mood of our residents and everyone expressed they felt much better after the session ❤️

We enjoyed another visit from Alyson Kiddleydivey South Wales, yesterday.
With her infectious energy and enthusiasm for fun we all got together - as a Danesbrook family do - for an afternoon of laughter, music and joy.
Encouraging our residents to dance and sing along increases happy memories and cardiovascular health, whilst socialising together; enhancing the wellbeing of all our residents - something we pride ourselves on
We always look forward to Alyson’s sessions and can’t wait to see what she has in store next time 💃❤️🌞

Last week bought wonderful weather and lots of joy, the sunshine being a tonic to all residents and staff.

To begin, we started the week off with a bit of target practice. Using our new board, kindly made by our handyman Steve, for our bean bag toss game. As well as providing gentle exercise and social interaction, everyone had expressed what fun they had.

As the week continued, we had an afternoon collaborating with our gardener, potting our first earlies (potato’s) and pricking out the Radishes 🥔 🫜 By caring for our crops it not only gave our ladies a sense of purpose but also stimulated their minds by giving them an opportunity to watch something grow.

Time spent outdoors in the sun boosts Vitamin D, which is crucial for immune function and bone density. Hence why we encouraged as many of our residents outside as we could. With ice cream, cosy teatime chats and lots of sunbathing it provided a real mood booster for all at Danesbrook 🌞❤️

We enjoyed a visit last week from Kiddleydivey South Wales’, embracing spring and all the joy it brings.
Not only did Alyson bring all our residents together with music and fun, the session also evoked many fond memories of those lighter days.
The light exercise and encouragement to dance allowed our residents to enhance joint flexibility and muscle strength.
Alyson brings so much energy to the home when she visits and we always look forward to her workshops🌞☺️
