We started our morning by choosing different questions and taking turns answering them together. It was wonderful to reminisce and travel back in time, sharing memories of our school days, favourite childhood sweets, and whether we preferred the seaside or the countryside. There were lots of smiles, stories and some lovely conversations along the way.

We then headed over to our arts and crafts area, where we had a deliciously fun activity β€” melting chocolate over strawberries and marshmallows! πŸ“πŸ« Needless to say, everyone thoroughly enjoyed this, and there were plenty of happy faces!

Afterwards, we settled down for some relaxing colouring. We had a lovely selection of pictures to choose from, including Elvis and Dolly, sports cars and animals. 🎨

After lunch, we sang happy birthday to one of our lovely ladies and enjoyed birthday cake and a cuppa! It was then time for a singalong and we continued with our question games, which everyone had enjoyed so much earlier in the day.

And although the rain came down outside, it certainly didn’t dampen our spirits! β˜”β€οΈ

The rain didn’t stop this morning, so we stayed cosy indoors, enjoying a cuppa β˜• and having a good old chat together.
As it’s National Wildlife Day today πŸ¦‹πŸ¦, we got creative with some lovely wildlife colouring pictures. We also had fun trying out our new garden aqua paints and enjoyed putting together our bird bath puzzle. 🎨🧩

After lunch, we treated ourselves to a slice of homemade apple cake 🍎🍰 β€” it was absolutely delicious!

Thankfully, the weather brightened up enough for us to head out for an afternoon walk. It was a little windy, but it was lovely to get some fresh air and enjoy being outdoors. 🌬️🌳

Back inside, it was time for some hand therapy, a spot of hairdressing, and, of course, a cheerful singalong to finish off the day. πŸŽΆπŸ’‡β€β™€οΈπŸ‘
A busy and enjoyable day shared together. ❀️
Have a lovely weekend, everyone! 🌸🌞

We started our day with a lovely cuppa and crumpets, taking some time to relax, read the newspapers and enjoy a good chat together. β˜•πŸ“°

We then enjoyed a delicious plate of fresh fruit before heading into our arts and crafts area. πŸŽ¨πŸ“

Everyone got involved and there was lots of creativity and enthusiasm! We enjoyed card making with stamps, trying out our new aqua painting, drawing and colouring. It was wonderful to see everyone getting involved and enjoying themselves. πŸ’•πŸŽ¨

After a tasty lunch, we finished the day with some gentle chair exercises. There were plenty of smiles, giggles and lots of laughter as we exercised together. πŸͺ‘πŸ’ͺ😊

Today we did experience a few showers throughout the day but that didn’t stop the fun inside the barn……
We changed a few plans and ensured every moment was special.

We started by reading our 1939 news papers bringing back moments which of course brought plenty of conversation by all.
The knit and natter ladies were clicking away to get some more squares done( we are on our way to making a blanket for premature babies at Ipswich hospital ) will keep you up dated on our progress.

We got crafty by using stencils to make some wonderful art work with our initials,
Some completed puzzles and managed a walk in the courtyard before the rain came down again.

One gentleman repaired a plug replacing the fuse while sitting on the train seats with his favourite place on the screen Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿.

After lunch we enjoyed some gentle chair exercises bringing a lovely end to our day.

Questions I get asked so thought I would share my response it may help someone…………..

Why is it my loved one eats and drinks for you but at home I cannot get then to drink or eat much?

Understanding is my answer we are all different we observe first and Tailor needs by undertaking what works what doesn’t,

By setting the scene we say so preparing area of familiar objects we never say you have to drink more……..
We change it to cheers everyone good Health, which wakes up the automatic signals in our brains.

Please eat the food I’ve prepared …….. to much pressure to when already they have to much to remember just to eat……

Is this chair ok for you for some lunch?
So what we do is set the scene, again the correct low tone sounds in the background a little like spa day.

Food textures can be wrong or to complicated so may need finger foods to take the pressure away. (The part in pretty woman where she has so many folks which one is which)
So we eliminate the objects.

Colour - brighten the plate, such as with sandwiches we place red tomato on the side which draws the eye πŸ‘οΈ

Small plates or smaller amounts, little and often works for some you can always add.

For our ups and downseys as the brain tells the body to keep walking, keep counting, we place them with others middle di**le we call it.

This allows them to watch others enjoy the food set and listen to sounds and settle if it’s only for half hour it works.

With our dedicated staff all working the same this is how it works.

Hope this helps just one person understand common questions we get asked

🀠🎢 Country & Western Dolly Day! 🎢🀠

What a fantastic day we πŸ’• We all got into the Country & Western spirit for our very own Dolly Day, and everyone certainly looked the part! πŸ€ πŸ‘’
With our cowboy hats, bandanas, boots and even a hay bale, the barn was transformed into a real country and western celebration! 🌾

We were absolutely delighted to have the lovely Gina join us and entertain us with her wonderful singing. 🎀🎢 There was plenty of singing and dancing!

We enjoyed a delicious buffet lunch, followed by some fun games, including guessing the weight of the baby πŸ‘Ά and trying to guess how many sweets were in the jar 🍬.

To finish off our wonderful day, we made the most of the beautiful sunshine and enjoyed some relaxing time together in our courtyard area. β˜€οΈπŸŒΈ

Yee-haw! What a day to remember! 🎢🀠🌾

What a fun filled Friday we have had today! Our morning walk we took along with us some visitors met some locals on route and spoke about the old oak tree which of course got us singing,

We enjoyed getting crafty today with dot to dots, drawings a little painting and colours filled the table,

After fish and chips Friday some of us headed out to the allotment we found another hidden pumpkin πŸŽƒ they are growing well. We ensured a good watering was done βœ”οΈ

This morning, due to the rainy weather, we stayed indoors and kept ourselves busy in the arts and crafts area. We enjoyed some aqua painting, getting creative and having fun with the different colours. We then enjoyed hand therapy and nail painting.

After lunch, the rain finally stopped, so a few of us made the most of the better weather by heading down to the allotment and enjoying a lovely walk.

Meanwhile, those who stayed inside had fun taking part in our quiz game, putting their knowledge to the test.

We thought we were going to have a rainy morning, but luckily the weather stayed kind to us! β˜€οΈ So, we took the opportunity to head outside for a lovely morning walk.

When we got back, everyone settled down and enjoyed doing something they love. There was lots of creativity and concentration with knitting, drawing, puzzles, painting and diamond art.

After lunch, we enjoyed some lovely homemade cake then we headed out into the courtyard and enjoyed playing some games together. As it became a little warmer, we decided to bring the games indoors.

This morning, we enjoyed a gentle morning walk with some lovely visitors. It was a wonderful opportunity to get some fresh air, enjoy the outdoors and have a good chat along the way.

🌻 Once back, we made beautiful sunflowers using tissue paper, and everyone did a fantastic job. We’ve now displayed them around to brighten up our walls and bring a little extra sunshine indoors. β˜€οΈ

We also celebrated Ali’s birthday with some delicious birthday cake. Everyone joined in with the celebrations, making it a lovely and special part of our day. πŸ₯³β€οΈ

After lunch, we headed out to the allotment to see how everything is growing. We picked some lovely runner beans and even more cucumbers! Our pumpkins are also coming along nicely and getting bigger every day. πŸŽƒπŸ₯’

🎈 To finish off our afternoon, we had lots of fun playing the balloon game, with some great music playing in the background β€” including plenty of Elvis! 🎢
