🌼 Yesterday we had our morning exercise class with armchair yoga 🧘 to get that blood flowing and limbs moving which helps keep good balance & reduce unsteadiness. In the afternoon we chose pictures for memory albums of us, helping to keep those memories alive. 🌼

Wow, we are bowled over with the kind generosity of Haslington Conservation Group who have donated a pear 🍐 tree and an Apple 🍎 tree for our care home. Our dementia gardening team will have great pleasure tending to these. Thank you so very much 🌼

Top tips to help combat loneliness for older people. 🧡

Today is World Mental Health Day, a reminder that looking after our mental wellbeing is just as important as caring for our physical health.

Feeling connected is vital to good mental health, especially in later life. In our latest blog, we focuses on loneliness in elderly people, exploring the causes, how it impacts people, and the small acts of kindness that can make a big difference.

Through shared activities, community connections and everyday kindness, our teams help create places where people truly feel they belong.

🌼 Today we went pumpkin 🎃 picking at one of our local farms! Supporting local community, in preparation for the HC-One pumpkin competition! & of course the harvest season! We only came back with a couple 🤣😂🤣
Then this afternoon we tested our motor colouring skills. Keeping colours within those fine lines! Takes some skill but we smashed it!
