Over the last couple of days, we’ve enjoyed a wonderful variety of engaging and meaningful activities across the home.
Residents have taken part in a range of card games and group activities, creating lots of laughter, friendly competition, and great social interaction. We’ve also spent valuable time supporting individual one-to-one sessions, focusing on personal interests and passions to help promote wellbeing and meaningful engagement.
A particular favourite has been the colour ball memory game, which not only brought plenty of fun but also provided excellent support for hand-eye coordination, concentration, and memory skills.
It’s been fantastic to see so much participation, encouragement, and enjoyment throughout the home, with residents supporting one another and making the most of each activity.

What a beautiful day it has been. Loads 1:1 focus passion with taking out lovely people out for a lovely walk

🇬🇧✨ St George’s Day Celebrations at Devonshire House & Lodge ✨🇬🇧

We’ve had a wonderful couple of days celebrating St George’s Day with our lovely residents! ❤️

Yesterday, our fantastic lifestyle team helped everyone get creative as we decorated our very own St George’s flags 🎨🏴. Alongside this, we enjoyed meaningful conversations about the history and traditions of St George’s Day, sparking memories and smiles all around 😊

Today, the celebrations continued with even more flag decorating and engaging chats, as well as a special St George’s Day poem that everyone thoroughly enjoyed 📜✨

Instead of slaying dragons, we took a slightly different (and much friendlier!) approach by watching How to Train Your Dragon 🐉🎬 a big hit with residents, full of laughter and enjoyment!

To top off a brilliant day, our team visited residents unit by unit, helping everyone decorate their own delicious cupcakes 🧁😋 before enjoying them together a truly sweet ending to our celebrations!

It’s been a fantastic couple of days filled with creativity, conversation, and community spirit ❤️

Happy st George's day from all at Devonshire house and lodge.

It was a truly lovely and productive day for everyone. We kicked things off this morning with a classic game of Bingo, followed by a special St. George’s picture bingo session that everyone really enjoyed.

The afternoon was just as busy as we got a head start on our St. George’s Day preparations by baking a batch of small buns. These are all ready and waiting to be iced this coming Thursday!

We also made time for some important 1:1 focus sessions, including a "Focus Passion" activity. On the physical side, it was great to get outdoors; Alan enjoyed some fresh air outside, and he even got involved in a game of football with Shanice. Overall, it was a wonderful blend of creativity, tradition, and active fun.

A very happy 94th birthday to Claire yesterday who was so happy with her chocolate cake 🎉

What a fantastic day we had yesterday in our home! 🎶☀️💛

In the morning, we were delighted to welcome the super talented John Nichols, who filled our Community Hub with wonderful music and great energy 🎤🎸 The room was full, with residents, staff, and visitors all coming together to enjoy the performance. There were plenty of smiles, singing along, and even a bit of boogie-woogie dancing from both residents and staff 💃🕺✨

In the afternoon, we made the most of the beautiful sunshine by spending time out in our garden 🌸🌿 Our amazing gardener has been hard at work, and the pond is now looking crystal clear 💧🐟 It was lovely for everyone to gather around, relax, and enjoy watching the fish in such a peaceful setting.

As always, we also spent time doing our one-to-one focus passions, ensuring everyone had meaningful moments tailored just for them 💖

A truly joyful and fulfilling day all around! 😊🌼

Yesterday was a truly lovely and uplifting day here at Devonshire House & Lodge 💛

Our morning was filled with creativity as residents took part in arts and crafts, making beautiful sunflowers using paper plates, coloured paper, pens, and bamboo sticks 🌻 It was a wonderful activity that sparked plenty of conversation, encouraged creativity, and brought lots of smiles. Arts and crafts are especially beneficial for people living with dementia, as they can help stimulate memories, improve focus, support fine motor skills, and provide a calming and enjoyable sense of achievement.

We also planted more sunflower seeds, and we’re all looking forward to watching them grow 🌱 It’s always so rewarding for residents to be involved in nurturing something and seeing the progress over time.

In the afternoon, we were delighted to welcome back the amazing Alison, our singer entertainer 🎶 We held the session on MV1 so the music could travel through the hallway, allowing even those who were unable to leave their rooms to enjoy the performance. The room was full of joy, laughter, dancing, and plenty of singing along! Music is incredibly powerful for people living with dementia it can evoke memories, lift mood, reduce anxiety, and bring people together in such a special way.

As always, our team also spent time carrying out one-to-one sessions with residents who prefer or need a quieter approach. These moments of companionship are so important, ensuring everyone feels included, valued, and supported 💕

A day full of creativity, connection, and happiness 💛

What a lovely day we had yesterday here in our home 🌼💛

Our morning started with our much-loved Wednesday Coffee Morning Club ☕🍰, where there was something for everyone to enjoy. Residents took part in general knowledge quizzes 🧠, got creative with bracelet making 📿, and even enjoyed a bit of knitting 🧶. We also spent time with our reminiscence cards, sparking some wonderful conversations about the “good old days” 💭✨ so many smiles and shared memories.

We then gathered to read poems together 📖, and had a truly special moment when Norman shared some of his own poems that he creates in his head 📝💫. It was magical to listen to, and he thoroughly enjoyed telling them such a proud and heartwarming moment for him and everyone listening ❤️👏

As always, we made sure to spend some quality one-to-one time with those who prefer to stay in their rooms 🫶, focusing on their individual interests and ensuring everyone felt included and valued.

In the afternoon, we made the most of the beautiful sunshine ☀️🌿 with a small garden gathering. Residents enjoyed potting sunflower seeds 🌻 we’re all very excited to watch them grow! Who will have the tallest one? 🤔🌱 It was also lovely to take in the fresh air and admire all the flowers now in bloom 🌸🌷

A big shoutout to Steve, our amazing gardener 🌳👏, who was busy by the pond planning ways to make it even better for everyone to enjoy especially so we can see the fish more clearly 🐟💧. Thank you, Steve, for all your hard work in making our garden such a beautiful and calming space for our residents 💚

Another day full of smiles, creativity, and meaningful moments 😊✨
