🎉🌊 Wish for '26 🌊🎉

This morning we proudly celebrated the start of Jane’s Wish for 26. Jane’s wish is to go swimming once a fortnight, and today that wish came to life in the most wonderful way. For the first time in 20 years, Jane returned to the pool and went swimming.

It was a joyful and inspiring moment, filled with smiles, bravery, and a real sense of achievement. Taking that first swim was a huge milestone and a powerful reminder of how meaningful it is to support dreams, no matter how long they’ve been waiting. Today was just the beginning, and we can’t wait to see Jane continue her swimming journey as her Wish for 26 unfolds. 🌊🎉

Today Ann, our activities lead. and Sam, the CRM, stepped back in time to take part in a local tradition that is over 200 years old. We were honoured to be invited by the local council and town mayor to join the annual scrambling event. A fun filled morning that celebrates the towns history, family connections and a spirit of adventure.

In years gone by the event involved crowds of children chanting a traditional rhyme in the streets in exchange for coins as part of New Years celebrations. Today the tradition continues with children chanting for sweets instead, keeping the spirit alive for new generations.

Ann and Sam put on their walking shoes and joined in the festivities. They enjoyed an event that brings generations together and creates memories to last a lifetime. The group made they way through the streets of Driffield with a special stop at Driffield Manor.

A great time was had by all and a hot drink was very welcome upon our return to the manor!

🍫🍭 Scramble 🍬

Thank you to Driffield Town Council for inviting us to take part in the tradition today.

It was too cold for the residents to take part but our lifestyle lead and CRM enjoyed keeping the tradition alive.

🎉 New Year’s Eve 🎶

This New Year’s Eve, we were thrilled to welcome George England to Driffield Manor for the very first time. The afternoon was filled with great music, a lively sing-along, and plenty of dancing, creating a fantastic atmosphere that everyone truly enjoyed.

Due to the wonderful response, we’re delighted to announce that George will be returning on 14th February — a date one to look forward to! Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the afternoon so special. 💃🕺✨



Why is music important in a residential home?

Music is a universal language. It soothes the soul, evokes strong memories, and connects us in a way that words often can’t. We’re no strangers to a bit of musical entertainment here at Driffield Manor and often find it to be one of the best activities for bringing everyone together.

For many of our residents, music can also be a portal to a time gone by. Music has a profound ability to trigger memories, often evoking vivid recollections of cherished memories and moments. In this sense, the joy of music offers a great way for all of us to remain connected with who we are.

Helping People With Dementia
For individuals living with dementia, musical care home activities take on an extra significance. Scientific studies have found that listening to music can provide great stimulation for the brain, not only producing a strong, positive emotional response but also reducing anxiety and stress. What’s more, it’s been found that music can inspire reminiscence, communication, and improved cognitive skills for those with dementia. Music facilitates non-verbal expression and can often bridge the communication gap where words might fail.

Musical Milestones at Driffield Manor
We do love to celebrate a special occasion or two here. Pair that with our love for music and it should be no surprise that you’ll often hear the sound of singing, instruments, and other musical activities.

💪💪 armchair exercises 💪💪

On Saturday, we decided to try something a little different during our armchair exercise session by following a British Gymnastics Foundation YouTube video. Everyone took part in both the physical and mental exercises, focusing on movement, coordination, and concentration. It was a refreshing change from the online exercise sessions we usually do and was enjoyed by all.

The session helped keep everyone active while also encouraging engagement and wellbeing, and we look forward to trying more activities like this in the future. 😊



“The Programme has a demonstrable benefit in the physical, emotional and cognitive aspects of older people and those older people having mild to advanced forms of dementia appear to benefit the most.”

🎼🎼 Music 🎸🎸

We had the pleasure of welcoming Alf Berry to Driffield Manor this afternoon. Alf entertained us with a wonderful mix of Christmas favourites, slightly more modern music, and classic country and western songs.

Often described as the ever-popular Hull singer, Alf has been entertaining audiences up and down the country for over 50 years, and it was clear to see why he remains so well loved.
