Every afternoon, residents and staff are welcome to gather in the lounges for tea for three! This is a great way to interact, get to know each other and reminisce. Staff and residents are encouraged to participate, enjoy a warm drink, some cake and have a conversation.
As well as putting on group activities, we also provide one-to-ones. These sessions can involve a catch up, labelling items, individual exercise, assisted walks or personal help.
This activity involves looking back and reminiscing. We can focus on anything, from a specific year, decade or topic. Engaging in a light-hearted conversation opens up discussion which is beneficial for everyone in attendance.
