Our Dementia Ambassador and the Lifestyle Team recently hosted a fantastic range of quiz activities across the different communities in our care home - and what a success it was!

Each quiz was thoughtfully designed to be inclusive, engaging, and dementia-friendly, giving everyone the opportunity to take part in a way that suited them. From:

📝 General knowledge quizzes
🎶 Music and song-based questions
🖼️ Picture and memory prompts
🌍 Community-themed and seasonal quizzes
…there was something for everyone to enjoy.

The quizzes encouraged conversation, reminiscence, teamwork, and lots of laughter, creating a lovely buzz throughout the home. It was heart-warming to see residents supporting one another, sharing memories, and celebrating their knowledge together.

A huge thank you to our Dementia Ambassador and Lifestyle Team for their creativity, dedication, and passion in making these sessions so meaningful. Most importantly, seeing so many smiles and happy faces reminded us just how powerful simple, well-planned activities can be.

We’re already looking forward to more fun activities like this very soon!

Fine Dining Afternoon – A Wonderful Success! ✨

We had an absolutely lovely time last Friday organising our special Fine Dining Experience for our residents and their families. The atmosphere was warm, elegant and filled with smiles as everyone came together to enjoy a beautifully prepared three-course meal.

It was heart-warming to see family members join us, take the time to get to know each other, and share stories over delicious food. The afternoon was filled with laughter, conversations and plenty of happy moments as everyone relaxed, connected and enjoyed each other’s company.

A huge thank you to all the staff who helped prepare, set up and make the evening run so smoothly. And an even bigger thank you to our lovely residents and their families for making the event so special with your presence.

Our Oaks and Willow residents had a truly wonderful day!
We spent time exploring different cultures and countries through engaging videos, which sparked lovely conversations and lots of curiosity. Residents enjoyed learning new things and sharing their own experiences and memories.

We also had a fun quiz session that everyone got involved in, bringing out plenty of smiles and friendly competition. Alongside this, we introduced some more...sensory activities on the laptop using the Moore Portal, which the residents absolutely loved. It was a great way for them to interact, stay stimulated, and try something new.

Overall, it was a joyful, lively day filled with learning, laughter, and more...connection - and we’re so glad our residents enjoyed every bit of it!
