Games and exercise time with our new purchases from the Summer Party funds. Ping pong and colorful cones were fun. But the hit of the day was the play parachutes, with its vibrant rainbow colours. With turn-taking and cooperation, it encouraged cooperative play while building our residents upper-body strength in a fun way. There was certainly some fun and laughter had! Part of our job is to be aware of residents isolating themselves, and who don't usually join in. So gentle encouragement is important. It helps with emotional well being, being sociable, encourages friendships and will improve quality of life. Bring on the next session!

Why are we waiting! This is the best way to have lunch. For social and emotional wellbeing, eating together provides a valuable social opportunity for residents to connect and reminisce. For those with dementia, this shared activity can be especially beneficial for memory and wellbeing. It can
improve nutrition and when staff sit with residents to eat, they can provide support, encourage food intake, and increase the likelihood of residents finishing their meals and even having seconds. 😋

Today is World Mental Health Day. And we were lucky to spend it with a beautiful Samoyed dog called Lunar. Animals and pets have such a significant role with mental health. Companionship and interactions, such as stroking or playing can reduce stress levels and have a calming effect. Lunar is very patient and she loves all the attention!

We enjoyed something new this week. Naomi and her Round the World musical show. An amazing way to sing songs from around the globe and with costume changes for each Country! Italy, France, Spain and the USA are some of the many Countries visited. Residents sang along to familiar songs and maracas were shaken!

Hairdresser day! As most of us know, the way we look is so important to us, and it's also important to our residents. Having haircuts regularly gives them this, with their own sense of personal style, individuality and identity. It also prevents them from appearing to be "all the same". From a quick trim to a new 'hair do' improves well being and is beneficial to mental health and overall quality of life. We all appreciate that!

We enjoyed having our regular musicians recently. And both gave us different styles of music. Joe Lloyd and his Rock 'n' Roll and music through the decades. And Dave 'Busker' Harris who, brings his menagerie of instruments! Accordion, (his squeeze box)! banjo, guitar and mouth organ. Dave doesn't just sing, he tells stories of his care free days in France when he was younger. Stories of busking in Paris and his time there. Then he plays a French tune or two! You don't have to get up and dance. Listening, reminiscing and toe tapping are perfectly acceptable.
