Since the weather is getting better day by day, the residents of woodlands are spending more time outside in the garden.
They planted flowers, went on garden walks, made delicious rocky road in our cooking club, did exercise and much more.
We started our week by staying physically active with chair-based exercise club, followed by ball games which makes our exercise even more fun. The residents enjoy doing exercises and are always looking forward to it.
After exercises, we played the game of Dominoes. A game like dominoes encourages the residents to socialize. They communicate with each other throughout the game and create a great bond and friendships.
On Monday afternoon, the giant crossword was done by one of our care partners. This is one of the favourite games of our residents and they enjoyed it indeed.
The residents also had flapjacks with their afternoon tea celebrating national flapjack tasting day.
On Tuesday, we had the opening of our brand-new Nail bar in celebration of international women’s day.
In the Nail bar the residents can get their Nails done and have foot massage therapy. It is also a private space where they can talk about anything comfortably.
On Wednesday morning, A game of Hangman was done by one of our care partners. The residents love this game.
There is always a fair and healthy competition between the residents and the care partner.
