🌸💭 National Thoughtful Day at Wilton Manor 💭🌸

On Thursday we celebrated National Thoughtful Day! We asked our residents what being thoughtful means to them, and created a lovely display filled with their words of encouragement. 💕

Our residents also enjoyed making little thoughtful gifts , which we left outside in the community for people to find. 🎁✨ The idea was to surprise someone, brighten their day, and spread a little kindness wherever we could. 🌼

It was a heart-warming day of reflection, sharing, and giving – showing that even the smallest gestures can make a big difference. 💛

👏 A big appreciation post for our amazing chef Chris! 👏

Chris always goes above and beyond to make sure every resident feels included at mealtimes. Recently, he created an IDDSI Level 4 puréed version of a classic favourite, a sandwich with vine tomatoes - so that our residents on a puréed diet don’t miss out on the foods they love. 🥪🍅

It’s the little touches like this that mean so much, ensuring dignity, choice, and joy in every meal. Thank you, Chris, for your creativity, care, and dedication 👍👌👨 ‍🍳

Sleep is as important for our health as our diets and exercise, yet we often cut it short.

Follow these 5 tips to get the most out of it:
1. Whilst the length of sleep is important (aim for 7-9 hrs a night) but quality of sleep is important too. Improve sleep quality by removing distractions from your bedroom, avoiding caffeine late in the day.
2. Sleep consistency is important - going to bed and waking up at the same time each day (even on weekends or kids’ holidays) can improve how restorative your sleep is. Keep lie-ins less than 1 hour.
3. Stop snoozing! Each time you fall back to sleep, you initiate a new sleep cycle which takes 90 mins to complete, so breaking it by another alarm 10 mins later is added stress on your body
4. Keep your bedroom cool - your body needs to drop its temperature to initiate and maintain sleep
5. Screen time before bed has similar effects to drinking coffee on the brain. Avoid screens and blue light in the hour before sleep.

This year I’ve partnered with Bupa to bring you evidence based health information, that you can trust - for more sleep tips, check out Bupa’s website and the Bupa Health YouTube channel!
