Our week started with the the blues and yellows as 🇸🇪 Sweden is our Country of the month here at St Georges Nursing Home.
Residents enjoyed a day of crafting Swedish Easter Trees , followed by the new taste that our monthly SnackVerse box brings. Sweden was the Snack Verse country and residents have really embraced and look forward to the new tastes that this brings each month. Our country of the months is always a great conversation starter and gives residents opportunities to share memories . Terry & Christine shared memories of their various exchange students throughout the years & shared a book named “SVENSK RAPSODI “ given to them years ago from a Swedish student. It was a lovely way of reminiscing for both not only Terry & Christine but their daughter also remembering happy times growing up with the exchange students.
It is also Hydration & Nutrition week so our kitchen team will be preparing various snacks & drinks to encourage hydration . Today was a unique & healthy twist on an apple donut with a raspberry & mango gel . Blue berry strawberry gel topped watermelon & pineapple topped slices with a variety of flavoured IDDSI safe gels. The kitchen team ensured snacks for all were offered throughout the home .
IDDSI 4 gels can be used acrooss a variety of dishes to garnish or encourage nutrition & hydration . Our kitchen team shall be demonstrating this throughout the week 🇸🇪🍍🍏🍉
