β‘ This week has been a perfect blend of seeking out all the beneficial experiences that sustain our interests in activities that provide us with joy.
β‘ Having explored many places of interests together we put our thinking caps on to decide on our where our next mini adventure might take us. It is so important for us as Carers to listen to those we support to truly benefit from our time together. Creating experiences no matter the destination, length of time, or what it involves, means the world to the individuals we support.
β‘ Monday did not disappoint. The air was milder, the sky was blue and we set about exploring somewhere local. Plymouth Boatyard & Marina down in Richmond Walk Plymouth is a wonderful place to visit, explore and taking in the breathtaking views. This hidden gem has spectacular views overlooking across to Mount Edgcumbe House and Country Park (Official) The local people walking their dogs who were happy to stop and talk and impart their love for the area and it's rich history was an added bonus. Community connections help to alleviate feelings of social isolation and boosts our feel good hormones. π€
β‘ Otter Nurseries Garden Centre & plymstock Broadway are in full colour with their spring blooms. With so many plants and flowers to cast our eyes over we used our senses to immerse ourselves in their rich patterns and colours. Again, it was the perfect opportunity to learn about which types of spring flowers are best to plant and easy to care for. Those living with Dementia feel the therapeutic benefits of being out in nature - sensory engagement with plants and flowers stimulates memories.
β‘ We put aside plenty of time to help care for the birds that are regular visitors to the garden. To our delight we spotted a Magpie, Crow and a magnificent Robin. The simple act of breaking up bread to feed the birds creates a sense of purpose for helping to take care of our winged friends. Never underestimate these moments which can be shared in the most simplest of ways, providing relaxation.
β‘ Come and follow us on our journey of adventure, memory moments, and connection. π π
