The summer has finally arrived in woodlands.
We spent a lot of our time in the garden this week. We had teddy bear picnic, had an entertainer and many other fun activities in the garden.
We started our week with chair-based exercises which was followed by ball pass game.
The residents find our chair based exercises very beneficial so, we make sure to have some on the activities plan on every other morning.
After exercises, the residents joined in for colouring and painting. They coloured teddy bears to go with the theme of our teddy bear picnic. Colouring is very therapeutic and our residents very much enjoyed it.
On Tuesday, we had a residents meeting. All of our residents gathered in the lounge to discussed about the care they have been receiving and if there is anything that can be improved. ed They were also asked if they are happy with the food, maintenance and everything else.
The residents also did jigsaw and play dominoes.
As the match of tennis was still on, the residents very much enjoyed strawberries and cream.
As every Thursday, the residents did chair based exercises with the physiotherapist and also helped with flower arranging.
Flowers always make people better, happier, they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul.
The fresh flowers provided an extra touch to our nail bar.
It was time for our cooking club again. This week we made chocolate chip teddy bear cookies. The cookies tasted amazing as they were made with love by our residents. We could taste their
sweetness in the cookies. The residents had an absolutely great time.
On Friday we had a teddy bear picnic in the garden. We had some delicious picnic food prepared by our chef and special Pimm’s cocktail. We had a proper summer feeling while having the picnic as the weather was absolutely amazing. We then did a bear quiz and had a bear story time.
On Saturday morning we had a piano sing along with Louis and in the afternoon, we had a live performance by Natasha in the garden. In no time the residents joined in to dance to her songs. Music always brings happiness.
Throughout the week the residents had their nails done whenever they wanted.
If you wonder what makes a lady happy?
The answer is a fresh set of nails..
