As we are officially at the peak of winter, we have spent the whole week partaking in winter and other fun activities in woodlands.
On Monday morning, we had the residents meeting. Alison started the meeting in the lounge. Most of our residents attended the meeting and discussed the things they are happy with and the things they are not satisfied with. We hold the residents meeting every month to provide best care to our residents and make improvements in our service if needed.
In the afternoon we had the winter snowman toss challenge.
The deputy could not hold herself back from this fun challenge.
On Tuesday we had exercise in the morning and a mini golf challenge in the afternoon.
The residents enjoyed playing mini golf.
On Wednesday morning, we had the monthly visit from our chiropodist. While some of our residents had their toenails manicured in the nail bar, one of our care partners remained busy with Hangman in the lounge.
In the afternoon we had our residents favourite activity, the giant crossword.
On Thursday morning, we had chair-based exercises and flower arranging.
Even though flower arranging is usually a group activity, it can also be enjoyed on your own, it is entirely up to our residents to choose where, how or whether to take part in the activity.
The choice is always given to our residents.
In the afternoon, our chef Becky organised a cooking club. Our residents made victoria sponge cake which they enjoyed with their afternoon tea.
On Friday morning, we had a fun interactive activity, “word search”. The word for this week was “Winter Snowman” and the challenge was enjoyed by our residents.
In the afternoon, we had winter art and crafts, most of our ladies took part in these activities.
On Saturday morning, we had winter story time. The activities coordinator read winter stories to the residents, soon after the stories we had a winter quiz prepared and hosted by one of our volunteers.
Then, the residents had a very relaxing afternoon with the warmth of hot chocolate and whipped cream.
