Today our Assistant Psychologist Hannah took a resident out for a walk. She’s been working with him for a few months now and he had mentioned that he hasn’t been walking much lately.
They had a long walk which took two hours! During which they had lots of time to chat and reminisce. He talked about lots of things including his life as a pilot and his time in India. They also spoke about dogs as they saw a few dogs whilst they were out and he said he had 2 German shepherds one called Lady and the other Susie. Hannah showed him a photo of her dog and he said she should bring her along next time. They spoke about him owning Rolls Royce cars and his family. They also also spoke about the time of year it was and that Halloween was coming up on Friday, which he said he likes because of the sweets and chocolates that come with it!
When they returned he thanked Hannah and said he had really enjoyed it and that they must do it again soon.
The simple pleasures in life that we all take for granted are not always possible for our residents to have. The time spent walking today will have been hugely meaningful to this resident. They had a beautiful sunny day for it too!
