This afternoon, Frances and Hilary settled down for a friendly game of dominoes. Moments like these aren’t just enjoyable; they bring a whole range of benefits for our residents:

✨ Cognitive stimulation
Dominoes encourages pattern-recognition, memory, counting, and strategic thinking. It helps keep the mind active in a fun, low-pressure way.

🤝 Social connection
Sharing a game creates conversation, laughter, and companionship. It strengthens relationships and helps reduce feelings of loneliness or isolation.

😊 Emotional wellbeing
Taking part in a simple, joyful activity can boost mood, create a sense of accomplishment, and evoke positive memories.

🖐️ Fine-motor exercise
Handling and placing the tiles helps maintain dexterity and hand-eye coordination.

🧘‍♀️ Relaxation and routine
A peaceful game offers a calm, familiar structure to the day — something many residents find comforting.

Frances and Hilary had a wonderful time together, and it’s lovely to see these daily moments bring so much joy and wellbeing to our community 💛

💅 Nail Day with Louise 💅

There’s nothing like a pop of colour to brighten up a stormy November day!

Lots of our lovely residents enjoyed a pamper today as Louise worked her magic with some gorgeous nail colours and styles.

Smiles all around and hands looking fabulous! ✨

This morning, we took a little trip up the road to Holbrook Hall for their wonderful coffee morning ☕️. Everyone enjoyed delicious homemade scones with jam and clotted cream 🍓🍰 Too busy enjoying ourselves to take any pictures!

Back at home, we tested our knowledge with a wartime music quiz, which brought back some great memories (and a few singalongs too!). 🎶

To round off the day, we settled in for a concert by the one and only André Rieu, a special request from our lovely Hilary. 🎻💐

A day full of chatter, music, and good company – just how we like it here at Springwood. ❤️

Today at Springwood Residential, we honoured Armistice Day by reflecting on what this day means to our residents. Many shared their thoughts and memories, writing down personal reflections about their experiences and those of loved ones.

We then settled down together to watch Goodnight Mister Tom, which everyone absolutely loved. The film brought back many memories of childhood and life during the war years — a touching reminder of the strength and resilience of that generation. ❤️

🕯️ Festival of Remembrance at Springwood Care Home 🕯️

This afternoon, following lunch, our residents gathered in the lounge to watch the Royal British Legion’s Festival of Remembrance, held at the Royal Albert Hall last evening.

The performances throughout the concert were both moving and powerful, providing a poignant opportunity to honour and remember the courage, sacrifice, and service of all those who have defended our nation.

We join the nation in remembrance and gratitude — lest we forget. 🇬🇧
