Our wonderful vocalist Louse came to visit and performed songs to entertain residents from genres they know and love, such as 1950's rock and roll, swing and 1940's classics!

Residents enjoyed singing along and playing percussion!

Residents helped to make some delicious Halloween treats for all to enjoy and participated in some spooky games and challenges.

Taking part in such activities transports them back to the warmth of family gatherings, bringing comfort and joy.

Residents helped to prepare tea for all to enjoy including home made scones and quiches and chopped up fruit for a delicious fruit salad. We always encourage residents to maintain daily routines which in turn promotes a sense of independence.
